Our Own Samples
Malassezia Yeast: Sample 1-2
Malassezia Yeast shards Developing Hyphae/ Filaments
Malassezia Yeast Sample 2-3
Characteristic Nodules / Segments on Hyphae / Filament
Sample 4
Malassezia Yeast : White Crystalline shard – like Dandruff
A white Crystalline shard visible to the eye - the size of a grain of sand-
usually deposited on the scalp, eyelashes as well as upper body
then developing into Lesions.
then developing into Lesions.
Sample 5
Malassezia Yeast Brownish fatty blob like shard
A brownish looking fatty blob, like shard, similar to the above, also visible to the eye
Usually found semi-glued on the surface of back, shoulders, chest, arms
-perhaps more developed and grease / fat wrapped / filled? at that stage...
At this stage of its development it appears to start to dig into the flesh
creating Lesions, much like the above Crystalline one does
and which appears to be an earlier stage, just before the above Fatty Blob stage.
Many Filaments are Bright Red ... which may indicate freshly drawn blood ?
Sample 6
Malassezia yeast in Vaginal Swab
Samples 7-8
Malassezia Yeast in Stool Samples
In all samples shown above
the long Asymmetrical Nodules / Hyphae/Fillaments and Spores
i.e the so called "Spaghetti and Meatballs" typical of Malassezia Yeast
are clearly visible under the microscope (magnification 200x - 400x)
but unfortunately not in the photos taken by poor quality i-pod camera
placed on the microscope's camera viewer.
