Slender, tapering conidiophores arise at right angles to the hyphae that bear many small tear-shaped or almost round conidia on delicate threadlike denticles forming a "rosette-like" cluster in young cultures; conidia also form singly along the hyphaeAt 35- 37 degrees celsius, round, oval and fusiform budding cells of various sizes often called "cigar bodies" are seen.What dimorphic fungi am I describing?

- A.
  
  Sporothrix schenckii
- B.
  
  Histoplasma capsulatum
- C.
  
  Blastomyces dermatitidis
- D.
  
  Paracoccidioides brasiliensis

  Penicillium marneffei
23.

As with the other dimorphic fungi, mold growth occurs at 25-30 degrees celsius and yeat growth at 35-37 degrees celsiusMacroscopically, at 25-30 degrees celsius on SDA, the colony is white, heaped, compact, usually folded and almost glabrous or with a short nap of white aerial mycelium that often turns brown with age; reverse is light or brownishAt 37 degrees celsius, the yeast phase on BHI is heaped, cream to tan in color, mosit and soft; as the colony ages, it becomes more yeastlike and waxy.What dimorphic organism am I talking about?
- A.
  
  Sporothrix schenckii
- B.
  
  Histoplasma capsulatum
- C.
  
  Blastomyces dermatitidis
- D.
  
  Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
- E.
  
  Penicillium marneffei
24.

At 25-30 degrees celcisus smooth condiophores with 4-5 terminal metulae, each metula bearing 4-6 phialidesConidia are smooth or slightly rough and oval and form chains; short narrow extensions connect the conidiaConidia, when incubated at 35-37 degrees Celsius, form hyphal elements that will fragment at the septa, producing single-celled round to oval arthroconidia; these are referred to as yeastlike cells.No buds are produced; arthroconidia will reproduce by fission.What dimorphic organism am I talking about?
- A.
  
  Sporothrix schenckii
- B.
  
  Histoplasma capsulatum
- C.
  
  Blastomyces dermatitidis
- D.
  
  Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
- E.
  
  Penicillium marneffei
25.

This organism forms "rosette-like" cluster in young cultures; conidia also form singly along the hyphae.At 35-37 degrees, round, oval and fusiform budding cells of various sizes often called, "cigar bodies" are seen.
- A.
  
  Sporothrix schenckii
- B.
  
  Histoplasma capsulatum
- C.
  
  Blastomyces dermatitidis
