| Description |
Prototheca wickerhamii is a unicellular, achlorophyllic alga that cannot be classified as a mold or yeast but acts as a fungus. Prototheca cells range from 8 to 20 micrometers in diameter, stain well with Gomori methenamine silver or PAS, and often contain two to eight endospores in each cell or sporangium. The organismonly occasionally produces human infection, usually by entering the body through abraded skin, an open wound, or a surgical incision. |
