Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of some Microsporum species

Summary. The paper reports observations made of various Microsporum species during a PAGE pattern study of the epidemiology of Microsporum can‐is. It is shown that M. audouinii can readily be distinguished from M. canis but that M. equinum is more difficult to separate. M. rivalierii was distinguishable from M. audouinii, confirming previous reports. M. distortum could not be separated from M. canis by PAGE gels of total protein or by isozyme patterns generated. There are particular problems with studies of that type on dermatophyte protein in that the intrinsic proteases degrade the preparations.
