This dimorphic fungus undergoes a complex differentiation in vivo and is responsible for one of the most prevalent mycosis in Latin America. During in vitro growth, phase transitions are triggered when the incubation temperature is shifted from 26°C to 37°C or in the reverse direction. When exposed to environmental stress such as temperature elevation, all living organism… Show more
