Abstract

Transmission electron micrographs of septa in Blastobotrys species invariably showed central micropores. Septa of species of Sporothrix, however, exhibited three types of pores: (a) micropores which were central if single, or scattered; (b) central simple pores with Woronin bodies; (c) dolopores. The results confirm the heterogeneity of the genus Sporothrix.
