widely used for
identification of (e.g. Metarhizium) species. The
terms microconidia and
macroconidia are
sometimes used.
There are two main
types of conidium...

molds characterized by the
development of both smooth-walled macro- and
microconidia.
Macroconidia are
mostly borne laterally directly on the
hyphae or on...

microconidia.
These are
inhaled and
reach the alveoli. In the alveoli,
macrophages ingest these microconidia. They

Neurospora cr****a, ****tia are
identical to
microconidia as they can

Microconidia are
variable in shape,
obovoid conidia are the most
