Intro

• What is the discipline in the field of biology that is concerned with the study of fungi?

  Mycology
• What are the the epidemiology of fungi?

  Nosocomial, Health care-associated, Community-associated infection
• This is a characteristic of fungi that requires to acquire preformed carbon as a source of nutrition?

  Heterotrophic or saprophytic
• What substance is the cell of fungi composed of?

  Chitin
• What sterol is in the cell membrane of fungi?

  Ergosterol
• What are the forms of reproduction do fungi perform?

  Asexual and sexual reproduction
• Do fungi contain chlorophyll?

  No
• What do you call the form of fungi that is unicellular?

  Yeasts
• What do you call the form of fungi that produces multicellular structures?

  Mycelium or Molds
• This is termed as when to a fungi has a yeast form and a mold form?

  Dimorphic
• What do you call if a fungi that is dimorphic is temperature dependent?

  Thermally dimorphic fungi
• This form of fungi is usually found when it is in the environment or when it is cultured using artificial mycology agars?

  Mold
• This form of fungi can be observed when it is on tissues or when cultured using enriched artificial mediums?

  Mold
• What do you call a fungi that has more than one independent form or spore stage in their life cycle?

  Polymorphic
• Dimorphic fungi usually cause what kind of mycoses?

  Systemic mycoses
• Are polymorphic fungi temperature dependent?

  No
• What do you call the long tube like strands that form a mycelium?

  Hyphae
• This is a form of mycelia that extends above the surface of the colony?

  Aerial mycelium
• This form of mycelia extends downwards into a medium and absorbs the nutrients?

  Vegetative mycelia
• What form of mycelia is attributed to the fuzzy or wool like appearance of a mold?

  Aerial Hyphae
• What are the two kinds of hyphae?

  ASEPTATE AND SEPTATE HYPHAE
• This type of hyphae contains cross walls or divisions?

  Septate hyphae
• This form of hyphae is continuous and does not have any breakage or cross walls?

  Aseptate hyphae
• What are the two classification of hyphae based on pigmentation?

  Hyaline (Moniliaceous) and Phaeoid (dematiaceous)
• This a classification of hyphae where the hyphae contains no pigmentation or is lightly pigmented?

  Hyaline (Moniliaceous) hyphae
• This a classification of hyphae that is darkly pigmented?

  Phaeoid (dematiaceous) hyphae
• What substance causes the pigmentation of phaeiod or dematiaceous hyphae?

  Melanin
• What type of reproduction does a fungi does for it to be considered to be a perfect fungi?

  Sexual reproduction
• What type of reproduction does a fungi does for it to be considered to be an imperfect fungi?

  Asexual reproduction
• What do you call the anamorphic strains, if one anamorph is present for the same teleomorph?

  Synanamorphs
• What do you call the aerial asexual spores?

  Conidia
• What are the two sizes of conidiospores?

  Macroconidiospores and microconidiospores
• What are the 3 genus associated to having macroconidium and microconidium?

  Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton
• It is a sexual spore that is produced in a sac like structure or an ascus?

  Ascospore
• It is a type of sexual spore that has a club shape structure and is formed externally on the tip of a basidium?

  Basidiospore
• This a form of sexual spore that is from the fusion of cells of 2 different hyphae?

  Oospore
• This is a type of sexual spore that is thick walled and formed when 2 sexually compatible hyphae fuse together?

  Zygospore
• In zygospore, the fusion of two spore results into what kind of hyphae?

  identical
• What do you call asexual vegetative spores?

  Thallospore
• This a type of asexual vegetative spore that is thick walled and is in chains?

  Arthospore
