TLDR
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.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.read more

Development of a chemically defined liquid medium for growth of Legionella pneumophila.
TL;DR: Study during the development of this medium showed that CO2, pyruvate, and alpha-ketoglutarate strongly stimulated growth; that cysteine and methionine were required for growth; and that serine, threonine, histidine, tyrosine, and tryptophane were energy sources.

TL;DR: The recombinant fusion protein was immunoreactive with monoclonal antibodies raised against M antigen, with polyclonal mouse anti-M antiserum, and with a serum sample from a patient with histoplasmosis.

Genetic Diversity of Histoplasma capsulatum Strains Isolated from Soil, Animals, and Clinical Specimens in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, by a PCR-Based Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Assay

TL;DR: The genetic polymorphisms between H. capsulatum strains isolated from animals and soil obtained in the same geographic areas were 100% similar, suggesting that an environmental microniche could be acting as a source of infection for animals and the local human population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between human granulocytes and Blastomyces dermatitidis
TL;DR: Findings suggest that there is disparity between phagocytosis and intracellular killing of B. dermatitidis by human granulocytes, perhaps because of resistance of this fungus to granulocyte microbicidal mechanisms.

TL;DR: Data indicate that at least five serotypes of H. capsulatum occur, one of which is closely related antigenically to H. duboisii and Blastomyces dermatitidis.
