AN ULTRASTRUCTURE STUDY OF PITYROSPORUM-ORBICULARE

[摘要] An ultra-structural study of P. orbiculare demonstrated the nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles, cytoplasmic membrane, and the cell wall. The cell wall of this yeast-like organism was much thicker than the cell wall of other yeasts that have been studied with electron microscope. It consisted of 2 distinct membranes. The inner membrane demonstrated a regular pattern of indentations. The other fine structures did not exhibit significant differences from yeast that have been previously investigated.
