Gram stain of Candida albicans from a vaginal swab, showing hyphae, and chlamydospores, which are 2–4 μm in diameter. A chlamydospore is the thick-walled large resting spore of …

Chlamydospores are survival structures formed from an existing hyphal cell or a conidium that develops a thickened wall and cytoplasm packed with lipid reserves. The thickened cell walls …

Oct 17, 2024 · Among these strategies is the formation of chlamydospores—thick-walled spores that play a role in fungal resilience and development. Understanding chlamydospore formation …

Chlamydospores are solitary, intercalary, and relatively thick-walled asexual spores whose primary function is perennation, not dissemination (Griffiths 1974). They are produced in …

Chlamydospores are thick-walled spores produced vegetatively from mycelial cells, that resist the unfavorable conditions and germinate under the onset of favorable conditions. Sclerotia are …

Here we characterized a novel morphological feature associated with the filamentous stages of the life cycle of C. neoformans which resembles resting or survival structures known as …

Chlamydospores are produced only by the two closely related species C. albicans and Candida dubliniensis, whose natural habitats are humans and warm-blooded animals, but not by other …

Chlamydospores are specific structures that are of great significance to the commercialization of fungal biopesticides. To explore the genes associated with chlamydospore formation, a …

Among Candida species, the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans has the special ability to form thick-walled cells, termed chlamydospores, in certain environmental conditions (18). …

Apr 15, 2013 · Our findings uncover the first chlamydospore specific markers in Candida species and provide novel insights in the complex morphogenetic development of these important …
