anti-fungal medicines are acting on ____’s fungi to disrupt cellular components of fungi
sterol
purpose of spores on fungi
for reproduction
purpose of spores on bacteria
survival
the metabolism of fungi requires what element
carbon
way of reproduction of fungi
Sexual/Asexual
way of reproduction of bacteria
Binary Fission
Gas Growth Requirement of fungi
Obligate/Facultative Aerobe
needed oxygen for growth
Groups of Fung

size of fungi
- 2-6 um
appearance of yeast’s colonies on media
Moist creamy opaque/pasty
smooth with regular edge
colonies on media
culture media of yeast
Sabouraud Dextrose Agar
and Blood agar plates
SDA/BAP media
yeast may look like which bacteria
Staphylococci
yeasts examples
Candida albicans,
Cryptococcus neoformans
to confirm if the organism is a bacteria or a yeast, we must perform ___
microscopic examination
– look for tapered edge and much bigger
are Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans opportunistic fungi and can cause infection?
yes
are Filamentous fungi
Molds
a group of hyphae is called as _____
mycelium
a branching structure of molds that is for absorbing nutrients from media
hyphae
appearance of colonies of molds in media
Fluffy/cottony/wooly/velvety or
sometimes powdery colonies
molds, Microscopically contains
hypha/hyphae (mukhang buntot yan sila )
a type of fungi wherein it Exhibits both yeast and mold form
Dimorphic Fungi
a type of fungi that is pathogenic
dimorphic fungi
dimorphic fungi’s form, whether in filamentous or yeast form, is based on temperature.
what is the required temperature for the filamentous/mold form of dimorphic fungi to form
25-30 * C
dimorphic fungi’s form whether it will be in filamentous or yeast form is based on temperature.
what is the required temperature for the yeast form of dimorphic fungi to form
35 - 37 * C
remember na yeast ang gamit sa pagbe-bake, diba mainit un? so ung mas malaking temperature ang YEAST form
example of dimorphic fungi
Blastomyces dermatitidis
Coccidioides immitis
histoplasma capsulatum
Types of Hyphae
- Based on Location in Culture Media
- Based on pigmentation
