MICROBIOLOGY NOTES DIMORPHIC FUNGIDimorphic fungi are those fungi that can exist in two different morphological forms under two different environmental conditions. These fungi exist as moulds in their natural habitat and in vitro at room temperature and as yeasts in vivo or in vitro at 37oC.hese fungi exist as moulds in their natural habitat and in vitro at room temperature and as yeasts in vivo or in vitro at 37 o C. Most of the dimorphic fungi are responsible for systemic or deep mycoses. For definitive identification of the fungus, yeast-to-mould conversion should be demonstrated.
Fungi. A fungus (singular) is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms (Figure 1). Fungi are classified as a kingdom that is separate from plants, animals, and bacteria.One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose.he discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology, which is often regarded as a branch of botany, even though genetic studies have shown that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. Pathogenic fungi are fungi that cause disease in humans or other organisms.
