title: Scanning electron microscopic studies of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in the yeast phase.
abstract: Scanning electron microscopy of four different Paracoccidioides brasiliensis isolates in the yeast phase revealed that mother cells generating multiple, spherically shaped buds may be firmly or tenuously associated with their progeny whereas elongated buds remain attached to the mother cell through stem-like structures and may represent early stages of hypha formation. The yeast cell surfaces were covered with a delicate network of microfibrillar components.
