"In the present investigation, we have shown for the first time that the onychomycosis-inducing dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum was able to metabolize 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in liquid culture medium."3.73Antifungal effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid PDT in Trichophyton rubrum.
