Aureobasidium pullulans
Microscopic morphology of Aureobasidium pullulans showing chains of 1- to 2-celled, darkly pigmented arthroconidia commonly called chlamydoconidia. These arthroconidia actually represent the Scytalidium anamorph of Aureobasidium and are only of secondary importance in recognizing members of this genus. Also note the presence of hyaline, septate hyphae, some undergoing holothallic transformation to arthroconidia, giving rise to numerous hyaline, single-celled, ovoid-shaped conidia (ameroconidia) which are produced on short denticles.
