Imagem de Microsporum persicolor (Sabour.) Guiart & Grigoraki 1928

Descrição:

Magnified 500X, this photomicrograph revealed some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by the fungal organism, Microsporum persicolor. In this particular image details seen in both a centrally-located macroconidium, and numerous, single-celled microconidia are revealed. Both of these structure types are the asexual spores that originate from the filamentous conidiophore, and are also known as mitospores, for they are born out of the process of mitosis, and are therefore, haploid when they reach maturity. Unlike the single-celled microconidia, the M. persicolor macroconidia are composed of multiple, attached microconidia, separtated by cell walls, and configured in a cigar-shaped chain.
