Description: ID#: 3963 Description: This photomicrograph shows a chain of conidia of a Alternaria sp. fungus, which can be a cause of phaeohyphomycosis. The spores of Alternaria sp. fungi are multi-cellular, pigmented, and are produced in straight chains, or branching chains. The end of the conidium nearest the conidiophore is round as it tapers towards its apex, imparting a beak-like appearance. Content Providers(s): CDC/Dr. Lucille K.
