Architecture and chemistry of microconidial walls of Trichophyton mentagrophytes

Architecture and chemistry of microconidial walls of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

The ultrastructure and chemical composition of the walls of Trichophyton mentagrophytes microconidia were investigated with particular emphasis on the localization of the major structural components within the walls. The walls consisted of carbohydrate (56.1% neutral polysaccharide, and 16.0% chitin), protein (22.6%), lipid (6.5%), ash (1.7%), and trace amounts of melanin (0.2%) and phosphorus ...

Glycolytic and respiratory enzymes of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

Although the dermatophytes are common fungal pathogens, very little is known concerning their metabolic systems. Biochemical studies with this group have been limited primarily to the nutritional requirements (Robbins et al., 1942; Schopfer and Blumer, 1943; Robbins and Ma, 1945; Georg, 1950; Benham, 1953; Silva, 1953; and Silva and Benham, 1954) and the demonstration of various extracellular e...

Survival and resistance of Trichophyton mentagrophytes arthrospores.

The effects of several physical and chemical agents on the survival of Trichophyton mentagrophytes arthrospores were investigated. Although arthrospores of this dermatophyte were highly resistant to chilling and freezing, they were extremely susceptible to moderate heat (above 50 degrees C) and desiccation. This high susceptibility could be significantly reduced when they were dried in the pres...
