Abstract
The nutritional requirements of the mycelial and yeast-like phases of the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a human pathogen, were investigated. For all nine isolates tested, mycelial cells were prototrophic, whereas yeast-like cells required a sulfur-containing amino acid for growth. Moreover, changing the source of nitrogen greatly affected the morphology of the yeast-like cells.
