Abstract

The non-pigmented hyphal cells of Trichophyton violaceum as seen under the electron microscope showed some interesting features, predominantly in the mitochondria and outer coatings, as distinct from thoses of pigmented cells. Some mitochondria with parts of single membranes were observed; the outer coverings of non-pigmented cells were thinner and less dense than those of pigmeted cells.

Résumé

Les cellules non pigmentées du Trichophyton violaceum, vues au microscope électronique, présentent des structures intéressantes (surtout dans les mitochondries et les couches externes), différentes de celles des cellules pigmentées. Quelques mitochondries possèdent des portions de membrane ayant des structures singulières. Les couches externes des cellules non pigmentées sont plus minces et moins denses que celles des cellules pigmentées.
