Variable colonial phenotypic expression and comparison to nuclei number in Blastomyces dermatitidis.

Abstract excerpt

We examined colonial phenotypes of five isolates of Blastomyces dermatitidis at 33, 35 and 37 degrees C on four growth media. Three different colony types were identified: yeast, mycelial, and a mixed type consisting of both yeast and mycelia. Each isolate varied in its ability to grow on the different media and at different temperatures, and in the types of colonies it produced in the various temperature-media...
