Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on Aciculoconidium genus, whose budding cells are ovoidal or ellipsoidal and single, in short chains or clusters. Mycelium is present, which consists of branched septate hyphae with blastoconidia. Terminal needle-shaped conidia that are rounded at the base and pointed at the top are also present. The only member species of this genus is Aciculoconidium aculeatum. After undergoing growth in glucose-yeast extract-peptone water for 3 days at 25° C, budding cells and mycelium are formed in this species. Mycelium consists of thin as well as broad hyphae that are septate. Needle-shaped cells, which are rounded at the base and pointed at the other end, frequently arise from blastospores from which they easily separate. After one month at 25° C, mycelial growth occurs throughout the species. After undergoing growth on glucose-yeast extract-peptone agar for one month at 25° C, the streak culture obtained is creamcolored, smooth to slightly wrinkled, glossy to dull, and tough. |
