Subject to the CABI Digital Library Terms & Conditions, available at https://cabidigitallibrary.org/terms-and-conditions
Members of this genus are often isolated from the environment. Verticillium wilt is a fungal disease of many economically important plants, especially tomatoes. Verticillium dahliae, V. albo-atrum, V. longisporum, V. nubilum, V. tricorpus and Musicilliium theobromae (formerly V. theobromae) and are the principal plant pathogens. Verticillium has been reported as a rare agent of mycotic keratitis in humans.
RG-1 organism
Morphological description: Colonies are fast growing, suede-like to downy, white to pale yellow in colour, becoming pinkish-brown, red, green, or yellow with a colourless, yellow, or reddish-brown reverse. Conidiophores are usually well differentiated and erect, verticillately branched over most of their length, bearing whorls of slender awl-shaped divergent phialides (Fig. 107.1). Conidia are hyaline or brightly coloured, mostly one-celled, and are usually borne in slimy heads (glioconidia).
Molecular identification: ITS, ACT, TEF-1 GAPDH and tryptophan synthase genes have been used to identify all recognised Verticillium species (Inderbitzin et al., 2013).
Key features: Verticillate branched conidiophores bearing whorls of awl-shaped, divergent phialides.

techniques
110.1. KOH with Calcofluor white or Blankophor BA
For the direct microscopic examination of skin scrapings, hairs, nails and other clinical specimens for fungal elements. This is a very rapid and sensitive method, however a fluorescence microscope fitted with filters to give an excitation with ultraviolet light below 400 nm wavelength is required. Calcofluor white (M2R pow­der, Polysciences Inc.) or Blankophor BA (Indulor Leverkusen GmbH & Co. KG) are used as whitening agents by the paper industry and selectively bind to cellulose and chitin. The dye fluoresces as it is exposed to ultraviolet light (Fig. 110.1).
Prepare two solutions: (A) Dissolve 10 g of KOH in 90 mL distilled water and then add 10 mL of glycerol; (B) Dissolve 0.5 g of Calcofluor white powder in 50 mL of distilled water by gentle heating. Store this solu­tion in a light proof glass bottle; some precipitation will occur over time. Evans blue (0.02 g) may be added to solution B to enhance contrast.
Method for making microscopic mounts: Mix one drop of each solution on the centre of a clean microscope slide. Place the specimen in the solution and cover with a coverslip, squash the preparation with the butt of the inoculation needle and then blot off the excess fluid. Gently heat the slide and examine microscopically for the presence of fungal elements that fluoresce a chalk-white or brilliant apple-green colour, depending on the filters used.

110.2. KOH with Chlorazol Black
Downloaded from https://cabidigitallibrary.org by Ivanov Ivan, on 11/04/24.
Subject to the CABI Digital Library Terms & Conditions, available at https://cabidigitallibrary.org/terms-and-conditions
For the direct microscopic examination of skin scrapings, hairs, nails and other clinical specimens for fungal elements. Note: Parker Quink permanent ink with solvex is no longer available, fluorescence microscopy using Calcofluor white (or Blankophor BA) with 10% KOH is now the method of choice for direct micros­copy of skin, hair and nail samples.
Method: Dissolve 10 g of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in 80 mL of distilled water and add 10 mL of glycerol and 10 mL of Chlorazol Black E (Polysciences, Inc). The glycerol prevents crystallisation of the reagent and prevents the specimen from drying out.
Method for making direct microscopy mounts: Mount a drop or small portion of the specimen in a drop of KOH-based stain, cover with a coverslip, squash the preparation with the butt of the inoculation needle and then blot off the excess fluid. Note: Specimens may take from 20 minutes to several hours for nail clippings for the specimen to clear so that fungal elements can be detected. Larger pieces of specimen such as nail clip­pings or fibrous tissue, should be digested in 10% KOH overnight prior to mounting on the slide. Negative specimens should be kept and re-examined the next day to avoid reporting false negative results due to delayed clearance and staining of the specimen.
110.3. India ink mounts
For the direct microscopic examination of CSF or bronchoalveolar lavage for Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii. India ink is a negative stain that provides a black, semi opaque background to enable the capsule
of the yeast to be clearly visible. Method: Place a drop of the specimen on a glass slide, followed by a drop of India ink, mix well with a loop, and cover with a coverslip. Note: The best quality brands are “Pelikan” or “Talens” India ink, which is what is used by tattooists. The slide should be viewed immediately by bright field (not phase contrast) microscopy. Beware of artefacts such as white blood cells that can look similar to cryptococ­cal cells.
110.4. Lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB)
For the staining and microscopic identification of fungi. This stain contains phenol which will kill the fungus and lactic acid that acts as a clearing agent and helps preserve the fungal structures. Cotton blue is an aniline dye that stains the chitin in the fungal cell walls, which adds colour to the fungal preparation thereby enhanc­ing and contrasting the structures. The stain can be purchased commercially, or it can be prepared in the labo­ratory, although this requires two days.
Method: This stain is prepared over two days.
On the first day, dissolve 0.05 g of Cotton blue (Aniline blue) in 20 mL distilled water. Leave overnight to eliminate insoluble dye.
On the second day, wearing gloves add 20 g of phenol crystals (C (CH
CHOH COOH) in a glass beaker and place on a magnetic stirrer until the phenol is dissolved. Then
3
) to 20 mL of lactic acid
6H5O4
add 40 mL of glycerol.
Filter the Cotton blue and distilled water solution into the phenol/glycerol/lactic acid solution. Mix and store at room temperature.
110.5. Microscopic mounts and squash preparations
Using sterile technique, remove a small portion of the colony with an inoculation needle and mount in a drop of lactophenol cotton blue on a clean microscope slide. Cover with a coverslip, squash the preparation with the butt of the inoculation needle and then blot off the excess fluid. Note: Cellotape flag preparations or slide culture preparations are superior methods for the examination of fungal structures.

An excellent technique for the rapid mounting of sporulating fungi because it keeps more of the reproductive structures intact (Fig. 110.2).

Fig. 110.2. Diagrammatic instruction for making a cellotape mount.
Method: Using clear 2 cm wide cellotape and a wooden applicator stick (orange stick) make a small cellotape flag (2 x 2 cm). Gently press the sticky side of the flag onto the surface of the culture. Remove and apply a drop of 95% alcohol to the sticky side of the flag, this acts as a wetting agent and dissolves the adhesive glue holding the flag to the applicator stick. Place the flag onto a small drop of lactophenol cotton blue on a clean glass slide (sticky side up or down, doesn’t matter), remove the applicator stick and add another drop of stain. Then cover with a coverslip and gently press, mopping up any excess stain. Note: Best viewed within 2 hours; flag mounts only last for a few days before the phenol/lactic acid destroys the cellotape.
110.7. Slide culture preparations
To accurately identify many fungi, it is essential to observe the precise arrangement of the conidiophores and the way in which the conidia are produced (conidial ontogeny).
Riddell’s (1950) simple method of slide culturing permits fungi to be studied virtually in situ with as little
disturbance as possible (Fig. 110.3). A simple modification of this method using a single agar plate is described below (Fig. 110.4).

Method: One plate potato dextrose is recommended; however, some fastidious fungi may require less nutrient-rich media to induce sporulation like cornmeal agar or Czapek dox agar.
Using a sterile blade cut out an agar block (7 x 7 mm) small enough to fit under a coverslip. Flip the block up onto the surface of the agar plate. Inoculate the four sides of the agar block with spores or mycelial frag­ments of the fungus. Place a flamed coverslip centrally upon the agar block. Incubate the plate at 26
o
C until
growth and sporulation have occurred.
Remove the coverslip from the agar block. Apply a drop of 95% alcohol as a wetting agent. Gently lower the coverslip onto a small drop of lactophenol cotton blue on a clean glass slide. The slide can be left over­night to dry and later sealed with nail polish. When sealing with nail polish use a coat of clear polish followed by one coat of coloured polish.
