Cell dispersion stage of the Aspergillus fumigatus biofilm isolate. The latest phase of the biofilm formation of A. fumigatus was observed only at 37 °C for both of the isolates. Clinical isolate: a-b developing asynchronous conidia from the hyphae (1,000X-2,000X); c-d dispersion of the planktonic cells (1,000X-2,000X); Soil isolate: e-f presence of conidia released from mature biofilm (1,000X-2,000X). g-h conidial structure assembly during the cell-dispersion phase (1,000X-2,000X). White dotted circles: detailed presence of the dispersed fungal structures that are observed at a higher magnification in the image on the right; c: conidia
