I have provided picture of the fungal growth on sabouraud agar, and its reverse morphology, also the staining using lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB). Please note that there was a contamination of a potential Penicillium sp. (green) by the side.
Hi,
Are conidophores extended from hyphae and terminate in brush-like groups? Have conidia coarsely roughened wall texture?
Regards, Franci
you need to provide a pure culture. it seems that the spore in the slide are from the contamination as the penicillium structure appears in the photo
It is not possible to identify the fungus based on the current pics. Please provide better ones.
Thank you
It is subculture separately and need to provide a pure culture.
Please pure this culture by sub-culturing it and than make a slide culture for proper identification.
The culture is contaminated with another fungus probably a Penicillium. The photomicrographs have hyphae and spores but no origin of the spores.. In fungal identification the origin of the spore is important. Both fungi may belong to Penicillium. Note that noted mycologist Blakeslee said that something nonsense will come out if you examine contaminated cultures. Czapek agar is used to study Penicillium identification. Purify the culture and study. That will be an useful examination.
Hi Nurul,
I fully agree with a wiew of Anisetti Thammayya.

Dear Sir please take clear photograph for this culture on 7th day old, on CYA medium (Aerial and reverse) and microscopic pic....
