MORPHOLOGY: Small, oval, measuring 2-4 µm in diameter. Yeast form, unicellular, reproduce by budding, both yeast and pseudo-hyphae are gram positive. Encapsulated and diploid, also form true hyphae, can form biofilms,80-90percent of cell wall is carbohydrate
GROWTH CONDITIONS:  Temperature:24 degrees centigrade to 26degrees centigrade 
Atmosphere: Typical  aerobic 
EFFECT / DISEASES: Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by yeast it is commonly found inside the body ,in places such as mouth , throat , 🤬 , although without causing any problems , but it can cause infection if it grows out of control or if it enters deep into the body for example bloodstream or internal organs. Candidiasis in the 🤬 commonly referred to as yeast infection

Bottle shaped with small protrusion at end of cell. Malassezia is characterised by globose, oblong-ellipsoidal to cylindrical yeast cells. Reproduction is by budding

They are usually not formed or produced in very few numbers.]]> 2019-11-15 11:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710195 Penicillium chrysogenum tomflannery2000 https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710197 MORPHOLOGY:  Multiple chains of spores called conidia which originate from complexes known as conidiophores. The conidia have a blue/green colour and form a mould that is yellow
GROWTH CONDITIONS: P chrysogenum grow in subtropical regions but are most commonly found in damp, indoor environments where buildings may have been damaged by water.
KEY FEATURE: P chrysogenum is used in the production of antibiotics, most notably, penicillin. The mould of Penicillin is grown in a fermenter, where it produces penicillin.

GROWTH CONDITIONS: This fungi most commonly occurs in soil or leaf litter and is highly tolerant of lead. In 1996, it was found that T. inflatum is a stage in the life of the known fungi, Cordyceps subsessilis.
EFFECTS: T. inflatum produces the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporine (which reduces risks of rejection after organ transplant).]]> 2019-11-15 11:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710198 Hortaea werneckii molliegibbs https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710199 Typically found in the soil/compost in tropical areas.
MORPHOLOGY:  Colonies are slow growing, initially mucoid (resemble mucus), yeast-like and shiny-black
With age they develop aerial mycelia and become dark green
KEY FEATURE: Two-celled yeast-like cells producing annelloconidia (a swelling).
DISEASE: Tinea Nigra, common in tropical and subtropical areas.A fungal infection affecting either the palms of the hands of soles of the feet. Typically occurs in female children and young adults.

COLOUR: blue/grey colour on the surface but yellow/tan colour on the underneath.
MORPHOLOGY: conidial head, they produce spores of between 200 and 400 mm, smooth surface
GROWTH CONDITIONS: thermophilic organism (growth above 40 degrees) reason why it's so prevelant
DISEASE: Aspergillosis, infection of the lungs. Fungal fibres can form and clot the lungs and or sinuses

Morphology: The colonies grow very rapidly, they are dimorphic and characterised by the formation of septate hyphae and athroconidia.
Growth conditions: The presence of fine soil and silt has been the only common characteristic to the places where it is found.
Disease: coccidiodomycosis is air borne. The risk of infection is increased by outdoor activities and it is most common among people between the age of 35-70. the symptoms include cough, chest pain, fatigue, malaise and fever.

Its diameter reaches to 1 to 2 cm in 2 to 3 week.

Symptoms gradually show within a few days to weeks, showing: headaches, stiff neck, confusion, etc. Fungal meningitis is not spread from person to person. Instead, an individual acquires cryptococcal meningitis when they inhale soil particles contaminated by bird droppings. The fungus first infects the body, spreads to the central nervous system, resulting in cryptococcal meningitis. it is a spherical, non-myceliated, non-fermenting fungal cell. contains small sized basidiospores that can turn into yeast cells. Can live in 37 degrees but can form dikaryotic hyphae that can live in 24 degrees.]]> 2019-11-15 11:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710203 Malassezia bright_k_amoah https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710204 Morphology:]]> 2019-11-15 11:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710204 Histoplasma capsulatum anjolaoluwasho15 https://padlet.com/eyituoyothelma/abmnf6cyo3tj/wish/411710205 Morphology: it is a thermally dimorphic fungus. it grows in mould form at 25°C, and in yeast form at 37°C.
