Rhinosporidium seeberi, a fungus that is associated with polyp-like tumors in animals and man, was successfully cultivated. This organism stimulated proliferation of epithelial cells in vitro, producing polyp-like structures. Spores produced in culture required a period of aging or development, or both, before they were capable of reinitiating the growth cycle.
西伯鼻孢子菌是一种与人和动物的息肉样肿瘤相关的真菌,已成功培养。这种生物体在体外刺激上皮细胞增殖,产生息肉样结构。培养物中产生的孢子在能够重新启动生长周期之前需要一段时间的老化或发育,或两者皆需。
