Utilization of keratinophilic material by selected Trichophyton terrestre spaceflight phenotypes.
Phenotype strains of Trichophyton terrestre Durie & Frey produced variations in hyphal growth patterns and conidial production when subjected to human hair collected from a single source. The strains were grown from wild type conidia irradiated in space with selected wavelengths of ultraviolet light.
