Scopulariopsis brevicaulis . Scopulariopsis is a genus of anamorphic fungi that are saprobic and pathogenic to animals. [1] The widespread genus contains 22 species. [2] Scopulariopsis belongs to the group Hyphomycetes. These species are commonly found in soil, decaying wood, and various other plant and animal products.
[1] [2] It is the teleomorph form of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis. Microascus brevicaulis occurs world-wide as a saprotroph in soil, a common agent of biodeterioration, an irregular plant pathogen, and an occasional agent of human nail infection. [3] [4]
A case of disseminated infection caused by Scopulariopsis species in a 17-year old patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia was described in 1987. [5] After receiving an allogenic bone marrow transplantation for cancer treatment, the patient complained of recurrent fever, nosebleeds, and abnormal sensations of the nose. [ 5 ]
Microascaceae species have spherical to irregularly shaped, darkly colored fruit bodies.They are usually hairy and rarely smooth. The smooth spores are reddish brown to copper colored, one-celled, and have a germ pore at one or both ends.
Magnified view of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, its annellides, and the ring-shaped annellations emanating from them A type of blastic conidiogenesis. The conidiogenous cell (also called an annellide) produces a basipetal sequence of conidia called annelloconidia or annellospores. The distal end is marked by ring-shaped bands called annellations.
Doratomyces (Dor-ah-toe-mice’-ees) is a genus of the fungi imperfecti, closely related to Scopulariopsis.Their conidiophores gather together to form a stalk-like inflorescence known as a synnema or coremia; Scopulariopsis being distinguished in their lack of such a structure.
Athallia scopularis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. [2] It was first formally described by Finnish lichenologist William Nylander in 1883 as a member of the genus Lecanora. [3]
The Microascales are characterized by a lack of stroma, black perithecial ascomata with long necks or rarely with cleistothecial ascomata that lack paraphyses.They have roughly spherical and short-lived asci that develop singly or in chains.
