chlamydospore

A chlamydospore is the thick-walled big resting spore of several kinds of fungi.

Has a thick-walled resting spore (teliospore), known as the "brand" (burn) spore or chlamydospore.

Teliospores are a form of chlamydospore produced through the fusion of cells or hyphae where the nuclei of the fused cells stay separate.

A zygospore is a sexual part of a fungus, a chlamydospore that is created by the nuclear fusion of haploid hyphae of different mating types.

C. albicans and C. glabrata were identified by chlamydospore and germ tube tests; all other species were identified by carbohydrate assimilation tests (API-20C AUX).
