| The hyaline saprobic fungus that has microscopic features similar to the mold form of Coccidioides immitis is: | View Page |
| Match the names of each of the yeast species listed with its corresponding appearance when grown in cornmeal agar, as seen in the images. | View Page |
| Match each of the microscopic structures listed in the drop-down box with the name of its corresponding yeast species on the right. | View Page |
| Match each of the fungal species listed below with the appropriate category, indicating whether or not it has the capability of producing pseudohyphae on cornmeal agar. | View Page |
| The forms seen in this photomicrograph, produced from a light inoculum of an unknown yeast colony incubated in rabbit plasma at 35°C for 2 hours, leads to the presumptive identification of: | View Page |
| This photomicrograph is an acid-fast stained smear prepared from a yeast colony growing on ascospore agar. A helmet-shaped, red-staining, acid fast yeast cell is seen in the center of view at the tip of the arrow, against the background, blue-staining blastoconidia. The presumptive identification of Hansenula anomala was made. Predisposing conditions that may indicate that this isolate is more than a contaminant include: | View Page |
| A yeast identification system gave a biotype number for an unknown isolate that did not differentiate between Candida tropicalis and Candida parapsilosis. This isolate could be identified as C. parapsilosis in a cornmeal agar preparation if it produced: | View Page |
