dematiaceous

Dark pigmented cell wall classifies fungus in dematiaceous group.

No dematiaceous hyphae occurred in roots inoculated with V. procera.

It is a dematiaceous (dark-walled) mold normally found in soil, air, cellulose and plant debris.

Despite its outward similarity to the dematiaceous fungi, the latter group conventionally excludes members of the order Eurotiales.

Chaetomium: Genus of dematiaceous(darkly pigmented) fungus reported to have caused human infections.

Phialophora: Genus of dematiaceous (darkly pigmented) fungi, which is one cause, e.g.

C. lunata is distinguished by septate, dematiaceous hyphae producing brown, geniculate conidiophores.

Dematiaceous fungi such as C. lunatus can facilitate foreign body infections of catheters, heart valves and pacemakers, for example.

The smooth ascospores are initially red in colour, however upon maturation both the fruiting body and ascospores are dematiaceous.

Sclerotia of Sclerotinia minor were parasitized by Teratosperma oligocladum, a recently described dematiaceous hyphomycete.

Principal components analysis confirmed this relationship and also showed that the Acremonium and Lecythophora groups had environmental preferences similar to those of dematiaceous fungi.

The term "phaeohyphomycosis" was introduced to determine infections caused by dematiaceous or pigmented filamentous fungi which contain melanin in their cell walls.

A dematiaceous hyphomycete was isolated from black discoloured areas of the somatic musculature of a specimen of Atlantic salmon.

Dematiaceous hyphomycetes, with their dark-coloured mycelia, produce particularly attractive black zone lines when they colonise the areas occupied by two antagonistic basidiomycete individuals.
