Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, ability to grow at 37°C, arbutin cleavage, starch reaction on Aschner’s medium, and sugar assimilation were studied in Trichosporon cutaneum. Great variability was found among strains. The author proposes treating T. infestans and T. jirovecii as varieties of T. cutaneum.
