| Summary: | Sporothrix schenckii has been studied by light microscopy, and also by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Characteristics of Ascomycetes have been oibserved at the level of the cell-wall and in the synaptic system of the hyphae. Also the perfect state has been discovered. The four spored asei are formed directly from the mycelium and there is no fructification. Dolichoascus schenckii is the name suggested for this perfect state which constitutes a new genus of the Endomycetaceae.<br>Sporothrix schenckii foi estudado em microscopia óptica e em microscopia eletrônica. Foram observados caracteres citológicos de Ascomicetos nas paredes das células e no aparelho sináptico dos hyphae. Foi descoberta a reprodução sexuada. Os ascos de quatro esporos são formados diretamente sobre o micélio e não há frutificação. Dolichoascus schenckii é o nome proposto para este estádio perfeito que constitui um novo gênero de Endomycetaceae. |
