Chlamydospores of dermatophytes.

Abstract

Summary: Chlamydospores of dermatophytes were differentiated from gemmae, vesicules, protoplasm reservoirs and aleuriospores. Chlamydospores were not found to be resting structures, but possess multiple budding. So‐called terminal and lateral chlamydospores become generally intercalary as they get older. Thick, sausage‐like hyphae which we found in the area of chlamydospore‐chains are supposedly rows of pre‐chlamyoospores. Heads of some racket hyphae transform into chlamydospores.
