[Mycological comparative study of Candida stellatoidea and C. albicans (author's transl)]. 1979

H Saez, and S Andrieu

The taxonomical value of the specific distinction of C. albicans and C. stellatoidea was in mind, in the mycological study of: one homogenous group of 292 isolates of C. albicans and an other of 11 C. stellatoidae, of collection in majority. The growth in a liquid medium, the production: of chlamydospores, mycelium, pseudomycelium, germ-tubes, the fermentation and assimilation of carbohydrates, the tetrazolium-test, the actidione resistance and the maximal temperature for growth were the morpho-physiological characteristics studied. Were also reported some variations observed on two C. stellatoidea from which the type-strain of that species, cultured in two different laboratories.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002175	Candida	A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH).

D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013696	Temperature	The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms.	Temperatures
D050260	Carbohydrate Metabolism	Cellular processes in biosynthesis (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism) of CARBOHYDRATES.	Metabolism, Carbohydrate
