Fig. 3.

Macromorphology and micromorphology of Exophiala spinifera CCF 5820. Colonies incubated 7 days at 25 °C on MEA (a) and PCA (b); colonies on MEA at 37 °C after 7 days (c); poorly differentiated semi-micronematous or micronematous conidiophores producing conidia at apical or lateral conidiogenous loci (d-g); free conidia (h), a budding yeast-like cell is visible in the left corner, two cells with lateral bud scar are present in the right corner of the subfigure. Scale bars: 10 μm. For micromorphology lactic acid with cotton blue was used as a mounting medium.
