Conidiogenesis in pathogenic hyphomycetes

I. Sporothrix, Exophiala, Geotrichum and Microsporum

Pages 81-98 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

Conidium formation in 5 species of pathogenic hyphomycetous fungi, Sporothrix schenckii, Exophiala salmonis, E. sp., Geotrichum candidum and Microsporum canis were examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. The fungi, grown in pure culture on potato dextrose agar under defined conditions, demonstrated 4 kinds of conidiogenesis. The taxonomic value of the developmental characters in the classification of the Fungi Imperfecti is discussed.

Resume

La formation des conidies chez 5 espèces d'hyphomycètes pathogènes: Sporothrix schenckii, Exophiala salmonis, Exophiala werneckii, Geotrichum candidum et Microsporum canis a été étudiée par microscopie en lumière visible et par microscopie électronique à balayage. Les champignons ont été cultivés sur milieu pomme de terre, glucose agar, dans des conditions bien définies. Les études ont montré l'existence de 4 sortes de conidiogénèse. La valeur taxonomique des caractères du développement pour la classification des champignons imparfaits est discutée.
