The present study is of ultra-fine structures of Trichophyton rubrum by means of electronmicroscopy, and reveals the following:
1) A cell wall is one of the most characteristic structures in the fungus, which seems tohave the most powerful resistence againstirritation. The older fungus is, the widerits cell wall is demonstrated.
2) It is demonstrated that those fine structuresin the fungus such as cytoplasmic membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasmic reticulumare the same as those of animal.
3) Discrete nucleus is not demonstrable in thepresent study. It is assumed from the factthat differentiation of T. rubrum from others such as yeast can be done morphologically.
