• MBL PROVIDES QUALITY SERVICES

    As one of North America’s leading laboratory in Mould & Bacteria services, MBL has the ability to identify even the most difficult moulds and bacteria samples. Our goal is to provide the highest quality mould and bacteria testing and consulting services to you. Whether you’re a Homeowner or an Environmental Consultant, We’ll consult with you on the most appropriate test methods to use for your testing needs, or what samples may be appropriate for a given investigation. Please note that we currently work with environmental strains and spoilage organisms ONLY. We’re unable to deal with clinical organisms.

Clavicipitales: Mycogone

Mycogone Link Colonies growing rapidly, cream to pinkish or red-brown. Conidiophores ± erect, verticillately branched. Conidiogenous cells in clusters of up to 5, narrow, tapering, producing conidia successively from single apical conidiogenous loci. Conidia ellipsoidal to cylindrical, hyaline, aseptate. Resting spores produced from the ends of vegetative hyphae, two-celled, the basal cell ± hyaline... [Read more of this post]
