[The dependence of the physiological properties of Trichophyton mentagrophytes on the pH value of the culture medium].
The growth, the amino acid degradation in the medium and the incorporation of amino acid nitrogen as a function of the pH-value were studied. At a higher pH-value, the growth and metabolism accelerate. During the growth, the pH-value of the medium temporarily increases. The results obtained will provide new possibilities for therapy and prophylaxis of dermatophytoses.
