Stemphbylium Sp

Prev - P - Q- R - S - T- Next

Reported to be allergenic. Isolated from dead plants and cellulose materials.

Stemphylium sp is a potent endophytic fungus that has been reported to be allergic. The major allergies that have been found to be notorious with human beings include hay fever and asthma. It is isolate from dead plants and cellulose materials and is notorious for causing the predominantly black color found in valley soil because of its growth in that particular type of soil.
 
Stemphylium sp always almost ends up growing in colonies . The  colonies are rapid growing . The surface could be brown  to something close to brown and the surface texture is what scientist call cottony.  Some are olivaceous or greyish or suedish . Microscopically solitary dark pigmented terminal multicellular conidia are formed on a distinctive conidiaphore with a darker terminal swelling are pale to mid brown oblong rounded at the ends ellipsoidal obloclovate or sub spherical are in smooth or in part verrucose . Stemphylium sp are unique from ulocladium which produces similar dictyciodia from a sphympdial conidiophoer not from perculent conidiogenius cell as is the case with stemphylium.

Stemphylium is found on the soil decaying vegetation some species found on leaves are what actually plant pathogens. So how are stemphylium sp distributed, they are actual mode of dissemination include common methods like dry spore, and incase the win is a little too much dissemination might occur.

Stemphylium Sp

Stemphylium is characterized by its growth type or characteristics . The stemphylium grows on general fungal lab media . It also grows through sporulation . Sporulation may be slow to absent . The general characteristics of sporulation may include light dark cycling on the surface. Another characteristic of  stemphylium that may help one determine it from another type of fungus is what the scientists refer to as spore trap recognition. According to sources the stemphylium spore is easily distinguishable because it has distinctively not easily confused genera although young spores or spore fragments may be confused with other pigmented muriform spores such as ulocladium alternria or pithoimyces. Another notable way to separate the stemphylium from other fungi is by the use of what is referred to as the tape lift recognition. With this test the stemphylium is found to be distinctive and readily identifiable on tape lifts. Although stemphylium is rarely found growing indoors it may be seen in dust as part of the normal influx of out door particles.

Stemphylium fungi has been found to contain a maximum exopollisaccharide production  of a oh of 0.6. Also it has the highest mycelial growth. Among different nitrogen sources yeast was found to be among the most favorable for the myocelial growth. Paper chromatography of the hydrolyzed polysaccaride exopolsaccaride produced by the stemphylium sp heteropolysaccarde of glucose and mannose unit . The manno glucan type.

Stemphylium sp rarely grows in the indoor environment .it is commonly considered as a contaminant . There are no known toxins for this type of spore.
