I. FUNGI
Diverse group of heterotrophs.
– Many are ecologically important saprophytes (consume dead and decaying matter)
– Others are parasites.
Most are multicellular, but yeasts are unicellular.
Most are aerobes or facultative anaerobes.
Cell walls are made up of chitin (polysaccharide).
Over 100,000 fungal species identified. Only about 100 are human or animal pathogens.
– Most human fungal infections are nosocomial and/or occur in immunocompromised individuals (opportunistic infections).
Fungal diseases in plants cause over 1 billion dollars/year in losses.

Material from the periorbital tissue of a woman with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus with facial and periorbital swelling due to zygomycosis (see right picture) is stained with periodic acid-Schiff stain (X 560). The material demonstrates the classic appearance of irregularly shaped broad hyphae with right-angle branching (arrow).

• Culture media for recovery of fungi from clinical specimens. PDA, Corn Starch Agar
• The recovery rate may be somewhat enhanced by using a variety of isolation media, considerations of cost, storage, incubator space and technologist time.

Initial observations in the study of fungus isolates
1.Appearance of the growth - surface and reverse surface of colony
were observed- delicate or hairlike hyphae
2. Rate of growth - saprophytes : 3-5 days
- dimorphic fungi : 10 days or more - dermatophytes : 14 days or more

Initial observations in the study of fungus isolates
3. Colony pigmentation
4. Growth on media containing antifungal agents - most strains of the dimorphic fungi can grow
- most strains of the rapidly growing saprobes are inhibited
5. Dimorphic growth - mold form (the environmental and infective form) ;
ambient or room temperature (22-25 OC) - yeast form (invasive form) ;
near body temperature (30-35 OC)

Terms useful in the examination of fungi
• hypha and pseudohyphae
• mycelium
• septate or aseptate (or coenocytic) hyphae
• vegetative mycelium
• aerial mycelium
• reproductive mycelium
