Electrophoretic patterns of Trichophyton mentagrophytes mutants with changed growth rate at different cultivation temperatures.

Abstract

Five mutants of Trichophyton mentagrophytes with changed optimum cultivation temperature and the wild strain were used in this study. The growth rates, the keratinolytic activities and the 1-D electrophoretic patterns of these mutants were examined repeatedly. The differences among the individual mutants and the wild strain can be useful for a better understanding of the participating individual proteins for thermotolerance of this fungus.
