Caption:
Under a magnification of 1125X, this photomicrograph revealed the presence of a number of conidiophores, along with numbers of accompanying two-celled conidia of the fungal organism, Ochroconis constricta, formerly known as Scolecobasidium constrictum. A dematiaceous fungal organism, O. constrictum is also characteristically a dark-walled, pigmented organism. These conidia develop asexually, therefore, these spores are sometimes labeled as mitospores, for they are born out of the process of mitosis, and are therefore, chromosomally haploid when they reach maturity.
