Zygomycosis and the Joplin Tornado

Pauciseptate Hyphae

July 2011

This is an image of pauciseptate hyphae. Actually, these hyphae are not pauciseptate at all, these are a nonseptate. There are no septations in there that I can see and this is something you see with zygomycetes but then as you look further around you will find there are some hyphaes sometimes with septate in there and I will show you those shortly.
