Abstract
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Blastomyces dermatitidis are the causative pathogens of serious deep mycoses. Mycological and medical findings of these two fungi are very much alike, except for their budding processes. As an initial step to know the phylogenetic situation of the species, the ubiquinone systems of five respective strains were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) was found to be the major ubiquinone with a minor component of Q-9 in both fungi.Keywords
