MICROSCOPIC MORPHOLOGY OF TRICHOPHYTON-RUBRUM

[摘要] Observations on the growth characteristics and morphology of T. rubrum are reported by means of light microscopy and electron microscopy. Growth of hyphae occurs only at the tips, or by lateral budding;, Translocation of cyto-plasmic material between cells is noted, and the presence of a septal pore is demonstrated by means of electron microscopy. Artifacts pro- duced by various fixatives and staining procedures are described. Degeneration and death of fungal cells is indicated by the production of intra-cellular lipid droplets.
