Ciri dan struktur
In culture, colonies of U. reesii grow moderately fast and are yellowish-white to buff in colour, are flat and dense in shape, and range from velvety to powdery in texture. Arthroconidia of U. reesii tend to be broad compared to most Malbranchea, ranging from approximately 2.5-3.5 μm x 3.5-6 μm in size. As a heterothallic species, two compatible "sexes" are required for sexual reproduction to occur. As with other members of the genus Uncinocarpus, U. reesii can develop hooked (uncinate) appendages on vegetative hyphae. These appendages are short and rigid, with thick walls approximately 8.8μm in diameter. Appendage length rarely exceeds the diameter of the fruiting body (ascocarp). These appendages are found in the asexual stage as extensions of vegetative hyphae, but only develop fertile spore-bearing structures (gymnothecia) in the sexual morph when compatible strains are mated. The gymnothecia are reddish-brown, initially formed on short, bulbous stalks before becoming more or less spherical. The ascospores are smooth, oblate and hole-filled (punctate). When the asexual morph of U. reesii develops these hooked appendages, they are referred to as "pseudogymnothecia", due to their similar appearance but lack of a spore-bearing structure. In lieu of spores, the asexual form produces arthroconidia that are cylindrical shaped with flattened ends.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
In the natural environment, U. reesii is commonly found growing in soil and on keratinous materials, and is found over a wide geographic range. Though there are no recorded cases of disease caused by U. reesii, there is evidence to support the hypothesis that the species is the root of the evolutionary branch from which pathogenic species in the Onygenales arose. The ability of U. reesii to shift from plant to animal substrates are theorized to have led to development of pathogenicity in several Coccidioides and Paracoccidioides species, both of which are highly genetically similar to U. reesii. Another related Uncinocarpus species, U. orissi, has been implicated in one deep skin infection and two pulmonary infections of humans.
