Chlamydospores, 13 to 60 [micro]m in diameter, were produced abundantly intercalary and terminally (E) and no sexual structures in single cultures.
Formation of
chlamydospores is considered as an indicator of stress conditions produced in the presence of oils.
Grocott and periodic acid--Schiff stains showed the presence of several yeast, subspherical budding cells (up to 5 [micro]m in diameter), terminal and spherical
chlamydospores (up to 10 [micro]m in diameter), and pseudohyphal elements.
Chlamydospores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus), as well as zygospores of the algae Zygnema and Spirogira found in the cave also support the contention of wet and mild climatic conditions (Navarro et al.
albicans, all SL isolates were germ-tube positive and produced
chlamydospores at 37[degrees]C on Corn Meal Tween 80 agar (Oxoid Ltd, Basingstoke, England, UK) and Czapek Dox (1%) Tween 80 agar (Oxoid) (Figure 1A).
Since
chlamydospores are often observed with a pigmented cell wall in A.
When Knox and his colleagues fed
chlamydospores on a daily basis to 4-5 month old sheep, they found that the average egg count in treated sheep was reduced to about one-third that of untreated controls.
The presence of canoe-shaped conidia and
chlamydospores are characteristic for members of the genus Fusarium (Nirenberg and O'Donnell, 1998).
