The proteins in broken-cell extracts from eight isolates of Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the principal agent of chromomycosis, were studied and compared by electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. A type pattern was established with 16 fractions ranging in molecular weight between 7600 and 78500 daltons and 16 fractions varying in isoelectric point between 4.95 and 7.90. A genetic distance of 0.1 found by the numerical study applied to both analyses reveals a considerable similarity among the isolates studied. This resemblance was moreover observed between F. pedrosoi and other related dematiaceous fungi.
