Morphological development of the conidia produced by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis mycelial form
Abstract
P. brasiliensis conidia were studied for their ability to grow as yeasts or as molds according to temperature. Using a microculture system we found that such conidia shared the ability of the parent mycelium to transform directly into multiple-budding yeast cells at 36 degrees C or to produce germ tubes and branching mycelia if kept at 22 degrees C.
