Conidiophores Collection

Picture No. 11014633
Penicillin Colony This is a culture of the original strain of bacteria used by Flemming in the early research into the first antibiotics. Obliquely lit macro image from a time-lapse sequence. Date:

Penicillium fungal spores, SEM
Penicillium fungal spores. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fruiting bodies of the fungus Penicillium roqueforti

Grey mould fungus, light micrograph
Grey mould fungus. Light micrograph of a section through onion tissue infected with grey mould fungus (Botrytis allii). Botrytis is a parasitic saprophyte mould that grows on wounded plants

Penicillium mould, light micrograph
Penicillium mould. Light micrograph of a section through an orange rind infected with Penicillium sp. blue mould fungus, showing fungal hyphae and conidiophores (pink and purple) with spores (red)

Brown mould fungus, light micrograph
Brown mould fungus. Light micrograph of a section through decaying plant tissue infected with brown mould fungus (Aspergillus glaucum)

Penicillium fungus, SEM
Penicillium fungus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a Penicillium sp. fungus. Specialised threads (hyphae, pink), called conidiophores, are seen

Conidiophores, the fascinating structures of fungal spore production, are beautifully captured in this collection of micrographs. Picture No. 11014633 showcases Penicillium fungal spores under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealing their intricate details and unique shapes. The grey mould fungus is also depicted in several light micrographs, displaying its delicate filaments and conidiophores that give rise to countless spores. The SEM images provide a closer look at the Penicillium fungus, unveiling its complex network that resemble tiny brushes or brooms. These structures play a crucial role in dispersing spores into the environment for reproduction and survival. Bread mould is another subject explored through SEM imaging, exhibiting its characteristic conidiophores that form dense clusters on the surface. These bread mould conidiophores appear like miniature trees with branches extending outward to release numerous spores.
