Abstract

The macroscopic and microscopíc characteristics of MiCTospoTum canis cultures obtained f'rorn preparations which had been lyophilized and stored in the refrigerator (± 4°C) for 20 years, were analysed. The lyophilized cultures showed the same morphological characteristics and pígmentatíon as the original sample. The author believes that lyophilization is a satisfactory method to preserve viability and to prevent degeneration and pleornorphysrn of cultures of Microsporum canis Bodin, 1902, for a very extended period.
