| Based on the structures observed in this photomicrograph, the most probable species of the fungus recovered from an induced sputum specimen is: | View Page |
| Illustrated in this photograph is a "green lawn" colony of Gliocladium species. The other hyaline mold that produces this type of colony is: | View Page |
| An Aspergillus species was recovered from a sputum specimen of a patient with X-ray evidence of fungal pneumonia. Microscopic examination did not permit a species identification. A small amount of vegetative mycelium was removed and a direct mount prepared. The features indicated by the red arrows in this image are associated with which Aspergillus species? | View Page |
| The differentiation between Aspergillus species and Scedosporium species may be difficult when only hyphal elements are observed in stained tissue sections. It is important to obtain a culture to make this differentiation when possible because Scedosporium species, in contrast to Aspergillus species, tend to be resistant to: | View Page |
| The spores produced by telomorphic forms of Aspergillus glaucus are: | View Page |
| The bare fruiting heads shown here, characteristic of Aspergillus niger, demonstrate a spherical vesicle with phialides positioned around the entire circumference of the surface. The other Aspergillus species that also sporulates circumferentially is: | View Page |
| The most helpful feature in differentiating the Zygomycetes from the other hyaline molds in the clinical mycology laboratory is: | View Page |
| Match each hyaline mold from the drop-down list to its corresponding microscopic and colony description. The microscopic appearance of the molds are illustrated in the image on the right. | View Page |
