Fungal morphological plasticity enables different pathogenic strategies.
(Above) The three species of fungi addressed herein and representative images of their morphologies at key stages. (Below) Schematic of morphological transitions made by these fungi and their corresponding roles in pathogenesis. Arrows are colored according to morphological transitions, corresponding to borders of representative images: color at the base of the arrow indicates the initial morphology, and the color at the tip of the arrow is the transitioned morphology. Scale bars each 20 microns. Candida albicans images credit Dr. Teresa O’Meara; E. muscae images credit Dr. Gabrielle Paniccia; O. novo-ulmi images credit Dr. Tuan Duong.
