Caption:
Under a magnification of 475X, this photomicrograph revealed ultrastructural features exhibited by macroconidia of the dermatophytic fungal organism, Trichophyton ajelloi, formerly named Keratinomyces ajelloi. This specimen had been isolated from an Alaskan soil sample. Note that the macroconidia are smooth, thick-walled, tapered at their attached end, and club tipped at the far end. These multicellular macroconidia average between 10 to 11 cells, and measure 29-65µm x 5-10µm.
