Question

Select the most appropriate lettered organism for each microscopic description. Each selection used only once.

            a.         Candida albicans

            b.         Candida tropicalis

            c.         Cryptococcus neoformans

            d.         Geotrichum candidum

            e.         Trichosporon beigelii

36.             True hyphae and arthroconidia

      37.             True hyphae, arthroconidia, and blastoconidia

      38.             Pseudohyphae, blastoconidia, and chlamydospores

      39.             Pseudohyphae and blastoconidia

      40.             Blastoconidia only, no hyphae and no pseudohyphae

Explanation / Answer

a=pseudohyphae,blastonidia,clamydospores -38-candidia albicans which produce pseudohyphae,blastoconidia are found in asexual reproduction formed by budding, clamydospores are they multicellular found which are dark coloured ,the cells are connected by pores which are having septa inbetween them.

b.candida tropicalis-pseudohyphae and blastoconidia-39

It forms pseudohyphae and also produce blastoconidia which are produced by asexual reproduction. Blastoconidia are like buds that fragments out

C-cryptococcus neoformans-40 blastoconidia are produced abd they hardly grow any hyphae or psedohyphae they mainly grow as yeast there hyphal forms are found during sexual reproduction.

D-geotrichum candidum-37 true hyphae,arthroconidia and blastoconidia

It produces true hyphae ir produces arthocondia it is a type of fungal spore which is typically produced from fragmentation.arthoconidia arise from hyphae.at times they also produce blastoconidia.

E-trichosporon beigelii- 36 -true hyphae and arthroconidia it produces hyphae and the asexual fragment ation of arthroconidia.
