The study shows physiological differences in respiration between fluffy and smooth strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale. Fluffy strains have high initial respiratory activity which decreases over time, whereas smooth subcultures show a later peak. Variability of respiration is greater in starved and aged mycelia.
