According to Wassink (1978), about 40 species of luminous fungi are known in nine genera (Table 9.1). Some species have multiple synonyms, which often cause confusions in their identification.

The focus of this chapter is the development of a technique often called wholecell matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) or whole-cell MALDI-TOF MS. Some groups prefer to use terms such as intact or unprocessed rather than whole, but the intended meaning is the same regardless of which word is used. As noted in the first chapter of this book, there are many different methods for the analysis of bacteria. However, for the analysis of intact or unprocessed bacteria, whole-cell MALDI-TOF MS is the most commonly used approach. This method is very rapid. MALDI-TOF MS analysis of whole cells takes only minutes because the samples can be analyzed directly after collection from a bacterial culture suspension. Direct MALDI MS analysis of fungi or viruses is similar in approach1,2 but is not covered in this chapter. MALDI-TOF MS of whole cells was developed with very rapid identification or differentiation of bacteria in mind. The name (whole cell) should not be taken to imply that the cells are literally intact or whole. Rather, it should be taken to mean that the cells that have not been treated or processed in any way specifically for the removal or isolation of any cellular components from any others. In whole-cell analysis the cells have been manipulated only as necessary to...

The colony characteristics and microscopic morphology used for the identification of dematiaceous fungi are based upon cultures that are approximately 2 weeks old and have been grown at 25 to 30°C on a medium such as potato dextrose agar or cornmeal agar. These media... 

The identification of dematiaceous fungi ultimately rests upon their microscopic morphology and, to a lesser extent, upon their gross...
