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.
Mycology is the study of fungi. Fungi are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic absorptive chemoheterotrophs. Most fungi are decomposers, and a few are parasites of plants and animals. Of the more than 1.5 million species about 300 are pathogenic, however the number of serious fungal infections is increasing.olds and fleshy fungi consist of long filaments of cells joined together (hyphae). A fungal thallus (body) is the vegetative, nonreproductive part of the organism and consists of a tangled mass of hyphae called a mycelium. Septa usually have openings that allow the cytoplasm of adjacent âcellsâ to be continuous.
