Morphogenesis of the mycelium-to-yeast transformation in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Abstract:
The sequential changes observed during the mycelium to yeast transformation in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were studied microscopically. The mycelial elements produced terminal and intercalary swellings which, later on, became chlamydospore-like structures. These increased in size, acquired a double contour and, finally, gave rise to multiple budding cells. Transformation was asynchronous. During the observation period, multiple budding cells and chlamydospores remained attached to the parent mycelium.
