Emergence of Fungal-Like Organisms: Prototheca
Mycopathologia, 2019The genus Prototheca consists of achlorophyllic algae that are ubiquitous in the environment and animal intestines. However, this organism has forfeited its photosynthetic ability and switched to parasitism. In 1894, Krüger described two microorganisms isolated in Germany from mucous flux of Tilia and Ulmus spp., namely Prototheca moriformis and P ...

A case of chronic meningitis caused by the achloric alga Prototheca wickerhamii is described, which has persisted for more than 6 years despite treatment with various antifungal agents. For the last year no treatment has been given, but the patient has no complaints.

The type species of Prototheca stagnora, SEC-L-1690 (ATCC 16528) (2) was found to have a large capsule surrounding the cells, in India ink preparations. Cryptococcus neoformans and P. stagnora are very similar organisms in their morphology and they should be differentiated by their reproduction process or by their biochemical and physiological ...

The ultrastructure of Prototheca wickerhamii
Mycopathologia, 1975Two clinical isolates from Prototheca wickerhamii were freeze-dried, fixed and studied by electron microscopy and were also examined growing in culture medium by phase contrast light microscopy. Resting spores placed on fresh medium developed cytoplasmic extensions which sequestrated before proliferation occurred.

Prototheca associated with banana
Mycopathologia, 1985Prototheca stagnora was found to be a habitant of older harvested banana (Musa sapientum) and plantain (M. paradisiaca) stumps while P. wickerhamii colonized fresh Musa sp. stumps and flower bract water of Heliconia sp. While Prototheca sp. were known to habituate woody plants, this is the first evidence that herbaceous plants also serve as habitats.

Cutaneous manifestations of Prototheca infections
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1995The genus Prototheca comprises several species, the most prevalent of which is Prototheca wickerhamii. These achlorophyllic algae are found in the slime flux of trees and in freshwater environs. Cutaneous infection with these microbes was first reported 30 years ago. Subsequent case reports have described other manifestations including systemic disease.

Introduction Protothecosis is a relatively uncommon infection of humans and animals which is caused by either of two species belonging to the genus Prototheca. These organisms have been referred to as achlorophyllous mutants of green algae belonging to the genus Chlorella, although conclusive evidence of this relationship has yet to be produced ...
