Abstract
The granular strain of Trichophyton mentagrophytes (M12-4) was grown in the presence of specific inhibitors of protein, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis. Those inhibitors which block protein and RNA synthesis inhibit mutant pleomorphic patch formation. Inhibitors of DNA synthesis had no effect on the visible expression of the mutant patches. Data presented suggest that initiation of the pleomorphic patch is not inhibited, but rather that mycelial growth is blocked.
