Morphological development of the conidia produced by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis mycelial form. 1986

B I Restrepo, and J G McEwen, and M E Salazar, and A Restrepo

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.
