Abstract

The growth and viability of two Paracoccidioides brasiliensis strains were evaluated in PYG and MMcM media containing no boric acid. The two P. brasiliensis strains exhibited a similar growth pattern in PYG medium, which was considered to be good compared with the growth curves in defined MMcM medium without boric acid. Calculation of cell generation time in the media studied demonstrated that the cells had greater difficulty in forming new generations in MMcM medium containing no boric acid. The present data confirm the literature view that PYG medium is the most complete in terms of nutritive substances for the growth and development of P. brasiliensis.
