Alkaline phosphatase at the cell wall of the yeast phase of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Abstract
The activity of alkaline phosphatase demonstrated by histochemical techniques was shown at the cell wall of the yeast form of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis at 3, 6, and 9 days of culture. The results showed a very active deposition at the cell wall as early as 9 days of culture of the fungus which made us think an inactive salt precipitate was also present.
