  • Multicellular
    Mold
  • Found on fruits and vegetable and on the skin of several animals
    yeast
  • Found in damp places
    Mold
  • No true hyphae present
    Yeast
  • Have true filaments known as hyphae in individual cells
    Mold
  • Asexual reproduction is the commonest form of budding
    Yeast
  • Reproduce with sporing
    Mold
  • Is known to cause certain infections in human
    Yeast
  • Can cause respiratory problems due to allergic reactions
    Mold
  • is a non selective isolation medium used for the growth and maintenance of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi from clinical and nonclinical specimens

    Dextrose (Glucose)
  • Three main reagents of Lactophenol cotton blue and their function
    Phenol: disinfect, Lactic: preserve, Cotton blue: Stain
  • ASPERGILLUS
  • MUCOR
  • Candida albicans
  • FUSARIUM
  • RHIZOPUS
  • cross-walls can be seen
    septate hyphae
  • cross-walls are absent
    aseptate hyphae
  • colorless
    hyaline hyphae
  • have a distinct yellow to brownish color that can be seen in stained preparations
    dematiacious hyphae
  • two variety of asexual mold spores
    Sporangiospores and Conidiospores
  • Sporangiospores are formed enclose within structures called
    sporangia
  • are formed enclose within structures called sporangia that arise from aerial hyphae
    Sporangiospores
  • are formed on structures that are also derived from aerial hyphae but are open to the air
    Conidiospores
  • open contain more than one spore
    macroconidia
  • only one spore is present
    microconidia
  • three types of asexual spore formed directly from hyphae
    blastospores, arthrospores, chlamydospores
  • by budding
    blastospores
  • arthrospores
    by fragmention of the hyphal tube
  • by the complete walling off nucleus within a hyphal segment
    chlamydospores
  • FUSARIUM
  • Penicillium
  • They are fluffy to cottony and may appear in color pink, purple, yellow, green and other shades
    Fusarium
  • they grow rapidly (2-5 days) and may appear first as flat, white filamentous growth which rapidly becomes blue-green and powdery with sulfur-yellow area scattered over the surface
    Aspergillus
  • this fungus produces a rapidly growing colony that fills the test tube or plate with a white fluffy mycelium, becoming gray to brown with age
    Mucor
  • this fungus produces a rapidly growing (2-4 days), coarse, wooly colony which soon fills the test tube or plate with a loose, grayish mycelium dotted with brown or black sporangia.
    Rhizopus
