Spherule Formation in Culture by Coccidioides Immitis Rixford and Gilchrist, 1896 1

Edgar E. Baker, E. M. Mrak

Abstract

SummaryThe formation, in culture, of structures resembling spherules has been described for Coccidioides immitis. Certain conditions concerned with their production have been discussed. It is suggested that spherules formed in culture represent a normal stage in the life cycle of the strains of Coccidioides immitis in which they were found.
