Figure 5. Macroscopic aspect of colonies grown on Sabouraud agar plates incubated 10 days at 20°C for 10 isolates recovered from study of clinical manifestations of emerging Trichosporon species infections, France, 2002–2022. A) T. asahii type strain isolate CBS 2479. B) T. austroamericanum isolate CNRMA20.443. C) T. inkin neotype strain isolate CBS 5585. D) T. coremiiforme type strain isolate CBS 2482. E) T. cf. coremiiforme isolate CNRMA19.523. F) T. faecale type strain isolate CBS 4828. G) T. cf. coremiiforme isolate CNRMA15.795. H) T. ovoides neotype strain isolate CBS 7556. I) T. caseorum type strain isolate CBS 9052. J) T. lactis isolate CBS 9051. T. coremiiforme and isolates corresponding to the potential T. cf. coremiiforme species (E, G) had the highest growth rate, whereas T. inkin and T. austroamericanum had reduced but similar growth rate. The cf. designation indicates putative undescribed species.
