Introduction. Dimorphic fungi are organisms that have the ability to switch between two morphologies during their lifecycle: yeast and hyphae (Gauthier, 2015; Klein and Tebbets, 2007). Dimorphism can be induced by several stimuli, such as oxygen concentration, nutrient sources and enzymatic activity (Gauthier, 2015).
The traits highlighted here represent just a sample of the characteristics that have evolved in fungi, including polarized multicellular growth, fruiting body development, dimorphism, secondary metabolism, wood decay, and mycorrhizae.
A dimorphic fungus is a fungus that can exist in the form of both mold [1] and yeast. As this is usually brought about by a change in temperature, this fungus type is also described as a thermally dimorphic fungus. [2]
21 Νοε 2023 · Dimorphic fungi are defined as fungi that spend part of their life cycle as a yeast and part of their life cycle as a mold. What is dimorphism in fungi and what is its significance?
24 Ιαν 2018 · Dimorphic fungi can live in four different forms; mold, hyphal, filamentous or as a yeast. Many species of dimorphic fungi are pathogenic to humans and other organisms. In humans, temperature is the main regulator of the form the fungus takes.
12 Φεβ 2015 · The morphologic shift between hyphae and yeast is critical for the pathogenesis, virulence, and lifecycle of the dimorphic fungi. In the soil (22–25°C), the thermally dimorphic fungi grow as mycelia that produce infectious conidia (i.e., spores).
7 Αυγ 2015 · Dimorphic switching requires the fungus to sense and respond to the host environment and is essential for pathogenicity. This review will focus on the role of dimorphism in fungi commonly called thermally dimorphic fungi, which switch to a yeast growth form during infection.
