Studies on the phylogenesis of pathogenic 'black yeasts'.

This paper deals mainly with the conidium ontogenesis and phylogenesis of black yeasts such as E. jeanselmei, E. gougerotii, E. dermatitidis and E. spinifera. The conidium ontogenesis of E. jeanselmei, E. gougerotii and E. dermatitidis was almost the same. One to five annellated tips were observed through a scanning microscope at the apices of conidiogenous cells, which were bottle- or jar-shaped. Annellations on the tips looked like fringes and the conidiogenous cells of these three species were annellides. Annellated projections occurred on hyphae and annelloconidia were also produced from them. Occasionally, secondary annellides occurred from primary ones. They looked like moniliform hyphae. Daughter conidia sometimes budded directly from mother cells. The shapes and sizes of the conidia of these species were very similar to each other. The conidium ontogenesis of E. spinifera was annellidic as well. However, a single annellated tip usually occurred on an annellide. The annellated tips of the fungus were long and more than 20 annellations were observed on their walls. The conidiogenesis of the four species of Exophiala is only annellidic. There were no differences in the biological examinations except KNO3 assimilation among these four species. The growth of E. jeanselmei and E. gougerotii was poor at 37 degrees C. The GC contents of E. jeanselmei 1171, E. gougerotii B-1800, E. dermatitidis MM-7 and E. spinifera DU-3342 were 54.6, 54.6, 56.6 and 59.7%, respectively.

Isolation of Lecythophora mutabilis and Wangiella dermatitidis from the fruit eating bat, Eidolon helvum.

Lecythophora mutabilis was isolated from the lungs of 3 and from the liver of 2 bats, Eidolon helvum a fruit eating species. Wangiella dermatitidis was recovered from the liver of 2 bats of the same species. The isolates were pathogenic for laboratory mice when injected by subcutaneous, intraperitoneal and intravenous routes. W. dermatitidis was neurotropic in the mice injected intravenously.

Granulomatous reaction and tissue remodelling in the cutaneous lesion of chromomycosis.

The cell-mediated immune reaction was studied in the cutaneous lesion of chromomycosis, using monoclonal antibodies against polymorphonuclear neutrophils, macrophage and lymphocyte subsets, endothelial and fibroblast cells. In addition, immunostaining of the main degradative enzymes (neutrophil elastase and interstitial collagenase) and certain important cytokines (transforming growth factor-beta, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma) suggested an explanation for the granulomatous reaction and the associated tissue remodelling. The distribution pattern of neutrophils and macrophage subsets, observed by computer-aided image analysis, suggests that the in situ persistence of fungi is the main pathological factor.

Application of the laser to the study of pathogenic fungi.

Laser microanalysis has been applied to the study of pathogenic fungi. Such a method allows chemical information to be obtained and permits the detection of 74 elements in the periodic system of Mendeleev from lithium (3) to uranium (92).
