Mycology Dimorphic Fungi Part 2

Blastomyces dermatitidis at 35-37 degrees celsius on BHI, s yeastlike cells are seen; these cells have a bud on a broad base and appear to be thick walled and double contoured; the bud often remains attached until it becomes the same size as the mother cell giving them an _______ appearance.

Identification of Blastomyces dermatitidis involves the conversion of the mold to the yeast form in order to confirm the identification.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis often occurs in adult _______; this may be due to their hormonal makeup and their occupation.

Mycelial forms of Paracoccidiodes brasiliensis mature within ______ days.

At 35-37 degrees Celsius on BHI, large, round, fairly thick-walled cells with single and multiple buds. Paracoccidiodes brasiliensis buds are attached to the mother cell by narrow connections and may almost completely surround the cell, giving the characteristic "______ " or "_______ " appearance.

Penicillum marneffei is endemic to areas of ______________

Colonies  of Penicillium marneffei  becoming mature in ______ days at 25-30 degrees; yeastlike forms develop more slowly at 35-37 degrees celsius.

Penicillium marneffei is not inhibited by cycloheximide

Conversion of Penicillium marneffei from the mold to the yeast form may take up to _______ days; most rapidly accomplish by using BHI broth on a shaker.

Penicillium marneffei has smooth conidiophores with _____ terminal metulae, each metula bearing 4-6 phialides.

Are buds produced when dealing with Penicillium marneffei?
