Abstract
Cladosporium resinae was grown on glucose and then transferred to medium with glucose or with kerosene as the sole carbon source. Growth on hydrocarbon was associated with thinner cell walls in both hyphae and spores, with the presence of large vacuoles in cells, with the synthesis of microbodies, and with increased synthesis of catalase. Some vacuoles in hydrocarbon-grown cells contained small, spherical, electron-dense inclusions which were not observed in cells from glucose medium. Large, electron-dense bodies within vacuoles were observed in glucose-grown and in hydrocarbon-grown cells. A working model is proposed for oxidation of n-alkanes by C. resinae.
