2 types of fungi
1. yeasts- single cells that reproduce by asexual budding
2. molds- filamentous; grow as long filaments (hyphae) & form a mat (colony) (!
mycelium)
2 types of hypha
aerial
vegetative - substrate hypha; penetrate the supporting medium, anchor and absorb
nutrients
some fungi can be parasitic to living matter exception: Candida albicans - form a
part of our normal flora; STD
Candidiasis (<-spelling?>
manifestation - chalky white substance from the vagina; very itchy
some are dimorphic - exist as a mold in the environment at ambient temp; at body
temp, they exist as yeast inside the body
(dimorphism)
MOLD
hyphae - branching cyllindrical tubes
group of hypha is a MYCELIUM and accumulate during active growth
grow by branching and tipped elongation
can be septate or aseptate
most grow on dryer, more acidic and high osmotic pressure in bacteria
mold are involved in the spoilage of fruits, veggies
YEAST
it is a eukaryotic microorganism
reproduce by budding
pseudohypha - yeast cell na wa nag separate; forming a chain structure
.yeast cell
.yeast cell with bud
.bud eventually breaks off
.two yeast cells
b. ASEXUAL SPORULATION
contidiophore; will expand to-
vesicle
sterigmata -chain of conidia
conidia or condiospore(?) - spore
TABLE 47-2
Coccididiodes - soil arthrospores inhalation into lungs
histoplasma - soil(associated with bird feces) Microconidia inhalation into lungs
Blastomyces - soil microconidia "
paracoccidoides - soil uncertain inhalation into lungs
cryptococcus - soil pigeon feces, yeast, "
aspergillus - soil and vegetation, condidia "
candida - human body, yeast, normal flora
