Abstract
An ultrastructural study was conducted on yeast-like Paracoccidioides brasi liensis cells grown on liquid and solid peptone-yeast extract-glucose mediu m. A large proportion of cells grown in liquid medium presented cytoplasmic damage compared with the cells grown on solid medium, which remained intac t, suggesting that agar plays an important role in the development of this fungus.
