Abstract
Endospores of Rhinosporidium seeberi were extracted and their surface structures studied by replication. Most of the endospores observed had a typical polar depression. The surface pattern consisted of undulating folds alternating with depressions to give a cerebriform appearance. Occasionally a thin membrane was seen surrounding each endospore. Les structures de la surface d'endospores de Rhinosporidium seeberi, extraites des sphérules sont étudiées par replication. La plupart des eudospores observées présentent une dépression polaire. La surface est caractérisée par des ondulations alternant avec des dépressions ce qui donne un aspect cérébriforme. Parfois une membrane mince entours chaque endospore.Keywords
