We applied the freeze-substituion method to the detailed observation of
the ascosporogenesis in Arthroderma simii. The ascospore formation of A.
simii underwent the same processes as did that of other dermatophytes,
namely an enveloping membrane system (EMS) composed of two invaginated
unit membranes that delimit the daughter nuclei in the cytoplasm of the
ascus. The inner leaflet of the EMS was found to have changed into an ascospore
plasma membrane, whereas the outer leaflet and intercisternal space became
the ascospore cell wall.
In the freeze-substituted asci, we could not observe the lomasomal
structure thought to be the origin of the EMS in dermatophytes.
