Abstract A method is reported for the isolation of nuclei from the dermatophytic fungus,Microsporum gypseum. The yield ranged from greater than 90% in crude preparations to less than 20% in highly purified preparations as judged by the recovery of DNA. Nuclei isolated in this manner appeared intact in electron microscopic observations and possessed chemical compositions, i.e. low protein/DNA and RNA/DNA ratios, which indicated a low degree of cytoplasmic contamination.
