摘要

Spherules of Coccidioides immitis strain Silveira produced in vitro were treated with chitinase and lysozyme. The walls of merthiolate-killed mature endosporulating spherules were degraded by chitinase (500 μg/ml) and by lysozyme (100 and 500 μg/ml). Thus, as was visible through the light microscope, the spherule wall was reduced in thickness from 1 to 2 μm to less than 0.5 μm. The degradation was evident also by release of N-acetylglucosamine, three times as much N-acetylglucosamine being released by chitinase in 12 h as was released by lysozyme in 3 days. However, the effect of lysozyme on living mature spherules was in marked contrast to the effect of chitinase in that treatment with lysozyme led to marked reduction in viability. Exposure to lysozyme (500 μg/ml) for 48 h permitted survival of only 0 to 0.2% of spherules. Thinning of the walls was observed only in the larger spherules (25-35 μm) treated with lysozyme. By contrast, chitinase (500 μg/ml) led to complete dissolution of the walls of living mature spherules but the viability of the liberated endospores was unaffected during contact with chitinase for 48 h. Living non-endosporulating immature spherules and free endospores were also rendered nonviable by lysozyme but not by chitinase.
