Unicellular structures (2-7 µm)
MOULDS:
Eg. fragmentation of hyphae - artroconidia conidiogenesis- conidia:
multicellular - macroconidia (15-150 µm)
unicellular - microconidia (2-6 µm)

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Microscopic appearance of hyphae and conidia important to identify nondermatophytes moulds • Microscopic appearance of macroconidia and hyphae essential for identification of dermatophytes moulds
Stages: • merge + (n) - (n) cells → plasmogamy
• resulting zygote (2n) of chromosomes • meiosis → 4 nucleus formed by (n) number of chromosomes
spores
