Freeze-etching observations of Trichophyton Violaceum.
Trichophyton violaceum was cultured on a Sabouraud's dextrose agar slants for freeze-fracture replication. It was cryoprotected with glycerol and sucrose. The surface structure of the cell wall showed a rodlet pattern. Invagination-like craters were observed in the plasmalemma. The nuclear envelope with pores, mitochondria, and vacuoles were clearly shown. Three-dimensional views of the fine structure were presented.
