Hello everybody...
The attached pictures show one of the isolates of fungal strains from Fish gills that were maybe one of the causes of fish deaths in Iraq , so I appreciated very much if you kindly help me for identification . Thank you.
It is difficult to identify the fungus without picture of conidiogenesis.
Round organs appear as chlamydospores rather than conidia
Thanks a lot prof. Hayat Essalmani for your Answer...
I agree with you about difficult of Identification.
Thanks again.
Our distinguished professor Jawad K. Abood Al-Janabi Respected.
I need your help in identifying this fungus.
Thank you very much in advance.
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
لصور اللى موجودة مش كفاية للتعريف الدقيق لان الخلايا المتولدة للجراثيم مش واضحة و دى مهمة فى تعريف الأنواع دى بالإضافة الى شكل الحامل الكونيدى مش مكتمل و طوله و شكله برضه مهم بشكل تخمينى هو أقرب لفطر Gliomastix murorum و لكن ده مش تعريف دقيق
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Not my area of mycology, but the hyphae do not look as if they are septate, and have the 'feel' of what used to be called 'oomycetes' - a group that contains a lot of fish pathogens - Saprolegniales etc.
Sorry that is the best I can do - my basic mycology is 60 years out of date
I am very grateful for your presence and thank you for your answers Dr. Michael Richardson .
and agree with you that this fungus from oomycetes,but I think include Branchiomyces sp.
Thank you again and I wish you more tender.
Dear Ali R. Shakir ..
Its difficult to identify this fungus, because there is no conidia or any propagules appear in the pictures that you send.
Best regards
You must provide us with some picures showing conidiogenus cells and conidia in addition to colony shape and some morphological features in order to help us for identification.
With best wishes.
Hi Ali R. Shakir
What type of medium are you using? There are many medium that you can culture fungus and eliminate some species. It is a manual labor and requires a little patience if is a slow growing fungus. If you want to go straight to the point and even think that this belongs to oomycetes group, you can also perform molecular identification.
Hope this helps!
Add anather picture contain conidiophore ,telomorph and anamorph stage.thanks
