The hyphae of Mucor species may be seen within the walls of orbital blood vessels with H&E staining (unlike other fungi; see Fig. 21.47B). They are nonseptate, wide (7 to 30 µm) and often branch at 90-degree angles.

Is Aspergillus septate or Nonseptate?

Common septate filamentous fungi are Aspergillus, Fusarium, Cephalosporium, Paecilomyces, and Penicillium species. The nonseptate filamentous fungi include the Mucor species.

What are the example of septate fungi?

Hence, septate hyphae consist of cellular compartments or distinct cells, while aseptate hyphae lack partitions or distinct cells. Aspergillus is a good example of septate fungus while Mucor is a good example for aseptate fungus.
