Summary[edit]

Description
English: The microscopic morphology of Scedosporium apiospermum, as observed in a lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) tease mount at high magnification (1600X), typically reveals characteristic features of this fungus. Here's a description of what you might see: Hyphae-

Septate hyphae of Scedosporium apiospermum can be observed in the LPCB mount. Septate means that the hyphae are divided into individual cells or compartments by cross-walls called septa.These hyphae are often thin, branching, and show a high degree of cellular organization. Conidiophores-Conidiophores are specialized hyphal structures that bear conidia (asexual reproductive structures). In Scedosporium apiospermum, you may observe both long and short conidiophores.Long conidiophores may have a more elongated appearance and can support the production of multiple conidia. Short conidiophores may be less elongated and produce fewer conidia. Conidia-The conidia of Scedosporium apiospermum are typically formed on the conidiophores. These conidia are usually hyaline, meaning they are colorless or translucent. Conidia are typically cylindrical or elongated and may have a slightly tapered or rounded tip. They are often arranged in chains or clusters at the tips of conidiophores. Septation of Conidia and Hyphae- Both conidia and hyphae are septate, meaning they have cross-walls (septa) that divide them into individual cells.

The presence of septa is a characteristic feature of Scedosporium species.
