Alternaria brassicicola

Alternaria brassicicola A rapidly growing fungus that produces a dark olivaceous brown to dark blackish brown colony within five days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). The hyphae, conidiophores, and conidia are pigmented olivaceous-brown (dematiaceous). It produces toxic metabolites including tenuazonic acid. It is found worldwide and is very common. It can be isolated from air, […]

Alternaria radicina A rapidly growing fungus that produces a grayish-white colony that becomes greenish-black within five days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). The hyphae, conidiophores, and conidia are pigmented olivaceous-brown (dematiaceous). It is found worldwide and can be isolated from plants and soil. There have not been any reports of human infections.

Alternaria species A rapidly growing fungus that produces a grayish-white colony that becomes greenish-black within five days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). The hyphae, conidiophores, and conidia are pigmented olivaceous-brown (dematiaceous). It is found worldwide and is very common. It can be isolated from air, plants (Ablackspot@ of roses), foodstuffs, soil, carpets, and textiles. It […]

Alternaria tenuissima A rapidly growing fungus that produces a grayish-white colony that becomes greenish-black within five days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). The hyphae, conidiophores, and conidia are pigmented olivaceous-brown (dematiaceous). It produces toxic metabolites including tenuazonic acid. It is found worldwide and is very common. It can be isolated from air, plants (Ablackspot@ of […]

Apiospora montagnei A rapidly growing fungus that produces a whitish colony within ten days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is found worldwide and can be isolated from soil, dunes, plants, rotten wood, decaying plants, dung, and bird feathers. There have not been any reports of human infections.

Arthrobotrys species A rapidly growing fungus that produces a white, yellow, pale pink or salmon colony within ten days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is found worldwide and is frequently isolated from soil, plants, rabbit dung and other nematode infested materials. It is capable of trapping nematodes by means of adhesive loops of hyphae […]

Arthroderma cuniculi (Anamorph: Chrysosporium species) A rapidly growing fungus that produces a yellowish colony with a yellow to brown reverse, within fourteen days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is found worldwide and is frequently isolated from soil, animal hair, reptile scales, and bird feathers. Rarely a human or animal pathogen causing dermatophytoses (ringworm).

Arthroderma insingulare (Anamorph: Trichophyton terrestre) A rapidly growing fungus that produces a white, later pale yellowish colony with a pink to vinaceous reverse, within nine days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is found worldwide and is frequently isolated from soil, rodent hair, and chicken feathers. Rarely a human or animal pathogen causing dermatophytoses (ringworm).

Arthroderma quadrifidum (Anamorph: Trichophyton terrestre) A rapidly growing fungus that produces a white later yellowish colony with a yellowish brown reverse, within fourteen days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is found worldwide and is frequently isolated from soil, animal hair, and bird feathers. Rarely an animal pathogen causing dermatophytoses (ringworm).

Arthroderma species A rapidly growing fungus that produces a white, cream, buff, or yellowish colony with either a pink to vinaceous or a yellow to brown reverse, within fourteen days, when incubated at 25oC (77oF). It is found worldwide and is frequently isolated. It is isolated from soil, animal hair, reptile scales, bat guano, and […]
