Abstract: | Summary The protein keratin can induce a reversible change in morphology of some granular strains ofTrichophyton mentagrophytes leading to a gross appearance which is indistinguishable from the pleomorphic mutation. The only other chemical which induced the same morphological change was a low concentration of sodium acetate. Pleomorphic cultures ofT. mentagrophytes were unaffected. |
