Conjugation in the dimorphic chromomycosis fungus Phialophora dermatitidis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phase-contrast microscope observations of the dimorphic fungus Phialophora dermatitidis revealed that thick-walled yeasts often tended to form aggregates and then to conjugate. Fusions were also observed among hyphae derived from the thick-walled yeasts.

In vitro activity of anidulafungin against selected clinically important mold isolates.
In this study, we evaluated the in vitro activity of anidulafungin against selected mold isolates. Anidulafungin showed promising activity against Bipolaris spicifera, Exophiala jeanselmei, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Madurella mycetomatis, Penicillium marneffei, Phialophora verrucosa, Pseudallescheria boydii, Sporothrix schenckii, and Wangiella dermatitidis.
متن کاملBiotin as a growth requirement for Blastomyces dermatitidis.
It is only in the past few years that the vitamin nutrition of the fungi pathogenic to man has been studied intensively. Among the yeast-like forms, Candida albicana was the first shown to require biotin for growth (Burkholder, 1943; Burkholder and Moyer, 1943), and the same requirement was later reported for Hiutoplasma capsulatum (Salvin, 1949a). The first observation of absolute biotin-defic...
متن کاملFungal Infections of Respiratory Tract-Final Section
Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, and Penicillium marneffei are endemic dimorphic fungi that may infect the respiratory tract. Sporothrix schenkeii, which manifests the typical thermal dimorphism of the endemic dimorphic organisms, does not seem to follow a geographically defined endemic pattern of distribution...
متن کاملNew Developments in Blastomycosis.
Blastomyces dermatitidis, the etiologic agent of blastomycosis, is a thermally dimorphic fungus that grows as a filamentous mold in the environment and as budding yeast in human tissue. This pathogen is endemic to North America, particularly in the states bordering the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, the Great Lakes, and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Infection with B. dermatitidis causes a broad array ...
متن کاملAltered expression of surface alpha-1,3-glucan in genetically related strains of Blastomyces dermatitidis that differ in virulence.
Recent studies of the dimorphic fungal pathogens Histoplasma capsulatum and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis have suggested a role in virulence for the cell surface carbohydrate alpha-(1,3)-glucan. To investigate a possible basis for alpha-(1,3)-glucan in the pathogenicity and virulence of the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis, we examined three genetically related strains of B. dermatitid...
