Zum histochemischen Nachweis von Enzymen des energieliefernden Stoffwechsels in Dermatophyten der Gattung Trichophyton

Isolation of ubiquinone Q9 from Trichophyton mentagrophytes (Robin) Blanchard

“…Ils role as a vitamin is under debate (15,3). Histo chemical assays have shown ubiquinone in the mitochondria of the dermatophytes of the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton and Keratinomyces (13).
