SPORES INVOLVED IN ASEXUAL AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Flashcards
Spores produced singly or multiply in long chains or clusters
Conidia
Types of Conidia
Macroconidia
Microconidia
large, multicellular conidia
Macroconidia
small, unicellular (single cell) conidia
Microconidia
Develops as daughter cell buds off the mother cell and is
pinched off
Blastoconidia
Characteristic of Blastoconidia (2)
➔ budding yeast
➔ Bowling pin
One example of Blastoconidia
Candida
Thick-walled resistant spores formed from rounding up and enlargement of terminal hyphal cells
Chlamidoconidia
Give the term if the rounding up of terminal hyphal cell is in:
- end/tip
- side
- within
➔ Terminal (end/tip)
➔ Sessile (side)
➔ Intercalary (within)
Example of Chlamidoconidia (3)
P. brasiliensis,
C. albicans,
Microsporum spp
Involves simple fragmentation of the mycelium; jointed, barrel-shaped spores
Arthroconidia
Arthroconidia examples (3)
Coccidiodes
Geotritchum
Trichosporon
Spores contained in sporangia or sacs that are produced terminally on sporangiophore or aseptate hyphae
Sporangiospores
