Distribution of nuclei in macroconidia of Microsporum gypseum
Abstract
The distribution of nuclei in macroconidia was investigated in 20 strains of the dermatophyte Microsporum gypseum by fluorescence microscopy. The macroconidia were characterized by the right-left and the central-marginal symmetry indices. In 18 strains the significant majority of the nuclei were situated in the basal part of the macroconidium, the remaining 2 strains showed a more or less uniform distribution of nuclei. All strains had higher numbers of nuclei in the central part of the macroconidium as compared with the periphery.
