Abstract

The hyphal septa of 3 chromomycosis agents, Phialophora pedrosoi, Phialophora verrucosa, and Cladosporium carrionii were investigated ultrastructurally. Single pores were observed in the septa of all 3 species. Conspicuous bodies consistent in appearance with previous descriptions of Woronin bodies were also observed. These observations suggest an ascomycetous affinity for these imperfect dematiaceous fungi.

Resumen

Se estudió la ultraestructura de la septa hifal de tres agentes de cromomycosis, Phialophora pedrosoi, Phialophora verrucosa y Cladosporium carrionii. Se observó que las septas de las tres especies contenian un poro. También se observaron werpos conspícuos de estructura semejante a las descripciones previas de los werpos de Woronin. Estas observaciones sugieren un parentezco de estos hongos Dematiaceas imperfectos con los Ascomycetos.
