distinguish anamorphs connected with ascomycetous orders (genera Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium etc.); use methods of isolation and cultivation;
evaluate micromorphological and macromorphological features of these organisms;
explain effects of mycotoxins on human health.
