Can anyone help me identify these four microscopic photographs of fungi?
It would help to know the host or the environment. It would also help to know what the cultures looked like.
That being said, based on the branching chain structure (picture 3) and the septation on the conidia, I would guess maybe something like Bispora/Dendryphiopsis, something in the Dothideomycetes.
Thank you sir for your kind consideration, these are microscopic photographs of keratinophilic fungi which were isolated by hair baiting technique.
The first and second pictures look like Geotrichum which is a common soil fungus. However, picture is not clear to identify the fungus precisely. The third picture looks like Microsporum a more common soil keratinophilic fungus. I know all the pictures are same. Either the cultures got contaminated or due to the resolution they look like two different colonies
Thanks a lot sir for helping me regarding this concern, i will again subculture these fungi and do the microscopy.
First of all Thank you Joao Brandao sir, I follow your recommendations. I will pass the cultures on culture media and determine them by PCR. I will also analyze the particular tests for these fungal strains.
