Ciri dan struktur
In culture, colonies of P. obovatum begin as white or off-white in colour becoming pale green and centrally darkened with age. The green pigments diffuse into the growth medium ultimately becoming blackish-green in colour. Although the hyphae of the fungus are typically colourless (hyaline), the presence of these dark diffusible pigments has resulted in this species being considered one of the dematiaceous ( filamentous, darkly-pigmented) fungi. This placement may be further justified by the confirmation of melanin pigments in hyphal walls and septa as demonstrated by the Fontana–Masson staining procedure. These melanins are responsible for the slight dark coloration of hyphae and conidia as well as the dark colours seen in the center of the colonies. Gams and McGinnis described P. obovatum as having a flat, smooth colony texture with hyphal strands that radiate outwards described as floccose (fluffy or cottony). Colonies of this species appear moist and lack a distinctive odour. The fungus produces droplets of smooth-walled, obovate conidia with a narrow base. Their shape is similar to a tear drop or an egg-like shape. Phialemonium obovatum conidia arise from adelophialides (phialides lacking a basal septum) that do not have a collarette. Conidia are typically produced only at the interface of the medium surface and the air, and are rarely present on submerged or aerial hyphae. Phialemonium obovatum grows optimally between 24–33 C although it can grow at temperatures as low as 15 C and as high as 40 C.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Phialemonium obovatum is a saprotrophic filamentous fungus able to cause opportunistic infections in humans with weakened immune systems. P. obovatum is widespread throughout the environment, occurring commonly in sewage, soil, air and water. Currently, three species of Phialemonium are recognized of which P. obovatum is the only one to produce greenish colonies and obovate conidia. It has been investigated as one of several microfungi with potential use in the accelerated aging of wine.
