Caption:
Under a magnification of 400X, this photomicrograph depicted a chain of conidia exhibited by an Alternaria sp. fungus. The spores of Alternaria sp. fungi are multicellular, pigmented, and are produced in straight chains, or branching chains, like those depicted here. The end of each conidium, nearest the conidiophore, is rounded, tapering distally, towards its apex, imparting a beak-like appearance. This specimen had been prepared using the lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) staining method.
