hyphae - ANSWERSlong ribbon-like filaments forming body of mold
aseptate hyphae - ANSWERShyphae that lacks cross-walls
septate hyphae - ANSWERShyphae that is divided into segments by cross-walls
hyaline - ANSWERSabsence of color; colonies of fungi are light in color and microscopic structures are
blue with LPCB
dematiaceous - ANSWERSdark in color; colonies of fungi are brown black and microscopic structures are
brown/black with LPCB
mycelia - ANSWERSmass of intertwined hyphae
vegetative mycelia - ANSWERShyphae growing within agar; absorbs nutrients; govern reverse colony
morphology; non-reproductive characteristics may aid in speciation
aerial mycelia - ANSWERShyphae growing above agar; support reproductive structures; govern colony
morphology
favic chandeliers - ANSWERSends of hyphae are blunt and branched (deer antler)
,nodular organs - ANSWERSknots of twisted hyphae
racquet hyphae - ANSWERShyphae resemble tennis racquets placed end to end
spiral hyphae - ANSWERShyphae which turn like a corkscrew
anamorph - ANSWERSasexual state of fungus
condia - ANSWERSspore-like structure generated by asexual reproduction (binary fission); only formed in
septate fungi
conidophare - ANSWERSspecialized hypha (stalk) on which conidia develop
pseudohyphae - ANSWERSelongated blastoconidia formed in some yeasts that resemble a hypha-like
filament; cells are constricted at attachment point, unlike true hyphae
sporangiospores - ANSWERSonly formed in aseptate fungi; asexual spore produced by cytoplasmic
cleavage within sac-like structure; older sporangium are filled with more spores than younger ones;
phylum = zygomycota
phylum deuteromycetes - ANSWERScalled fungi imperfecti; only asexual form of reproduction is known;
no sexual reproductive form is known for these fungi
columella - ANSWERSbase which supports sporangium
sporangiophore - ANSWERSstalk which supports columella of sporangium
rhizoids - ANSWERSrootlike hyphae
, stolons - ANSWERSinterconnecting runners connecting groups of sporangiophores
blastoconidia - ANSWERSforms by blowing out or budding process (i.e. yeast, Candida)
poroconidia - ANSWERSproduced through a small pore in conidiogenous cell (i.e. Bipolaris)
phialoconidia - ANSWERSproduced from a tube or vase-shaped conidiogenous cell (phialide); phialade
may be ringed at the top by a cup-shaped collarette (i.e. Penicillium, Phialophora)
annelloconidia - ANSWERSproduced from a tube or vase-shaped conidogenous cell (annellide); tip of
annellide exhibits new ring pf material as each anneloconidium passes through it; outer rings provide
saw-toothed appearance at annellide tip (i.e. Scopulariopsis)
arthroconidia - ANSWERSthick-walled and barrell-shaped or rectangular; produced by fragmentation of
hyphal strand through septation points; released by splitting of adjacent double septum or
fragmentation or lysis pf disjunctor cells (alternating empty spaces) (i.e. Coccidiodes immitis)
chlamydoconidia - ANSWERSthick-walled conidium formed within vegetative hyphae; function as an
organ of long-term survival rather than dissemination; present at hyphal tip (terminal); on the sides
(sessile), and within hyphal strand (intercalary)
macroconidia - ANSWERSmulticelled conidium in which entire hyphal element converts into
macroconidia; a smaller, microconidia produced in same manner must be present in order to apply prefix
"macro"
dimorphic - ANSWERSfungi with two different morphologic forms; SABHI at 25C/30C = mold; BHI with
blood at 37C = yeast
teleomorph - ANSWERSsexual state of a fungus
spore - ANSWERSresults of sexual reproduction
