Growth of Histoplasma capsulatum

VI. Maintenance of the Mycelial Phase

Leo Pine 1
PMCID: PMC376702  PMID: 5440171

Abstract

A medium is described for the maintenance of the mycelial phases of Histoplasma capsulatum in their “original” condition of sporulation. A yeast phase medium is reemphasized, not only for conversion and support of the yeast phase, but as an indirect method of maintaining the mycelial characteristics as originally observed.
