Plasmalemmasome development in Trichophyton mentagrophytes grown at suboptimal temperature. 1977

G L Vannini, and D Mares, and G Dall'Olio, and A Donini

When the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes is cultivated at the suboptimal temperature of 19 degrees C, the plasmalemma of the youngest cells appears to be associated with a variety of membranous bodies, the number of which is much greater than at the optimum temperature of 28 degrees C. These structures can be indicated as plasmalemmasomes both for morphological characteristics and cytochemical reactivity. A possible correlation between the suboptimal condition and plasmalemmasome ontogeny and function is proposed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009940	Organoids	An organization of cells into an organ-like structure. Organoids can be generated in culture, e.g., self-organized three-dimensional tissue structures derived from STEM CELLS (see MICROPHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS). They are also found in certain NEOPLASMS.	Organoid
D002462	Cell Membrane	The lipid- and protein-containing, selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.	Plasma Membrane,Cytoplasmic Membrane,Cell Membranes,Cytoplasmic Membranes,Membrane, Cell,Membrane, Cytoplasmic,Membrane, Plasma,Membranes, Cell,Membranes, Cytoplasmic,Membranes, Plasma,Plasma Membranes
D013696	Temperature	The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms.	Temperatures
D014249	Trichophyton	A mitosporic fungal genus and an anamorphic form of Arthroderma. Various species attack the skin, nails, and hair.	Endodermophyton,Trychophyton,Endodermophytons,Trichophytons,Trychophytons
