“…Our study, in accord with others (5,10,11,13), revealed a strong degree of antigenic unity among the various species of Candida. Nevertheless, distinct antigens for C. guilliermondii, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, and C. pseudotropicalis were recognized, and specific antibodies to them were prepared by use of appropriate adsorbing procedures ( Table 1).…”

Agglutinins have been prepared against the medically important Candida species. Crude antisera to the various species demonstrated intense cross-reactions with heterologous yeastlike fungi as well as with many true yeasts. However, carefully monitored adsorptions of selected antisera allowed the production of six factor sera that proved useful in a slide agglutination test. These six sera permitted the rapid and specific identification of C. guilliermondii, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, and C. pseudotropicalis. They also allowed the delineation of two groups: (i) C. albicans (type A)-C. tropicalis and (ii) C. albicans (type B)-C. stellatoidea. C. albicans type A could be readily distinguished from C. tropicalis by its ability to form germ tubes in serum. C. stellatoidea could be distinguished from C. albicans type B by its predominantly filamentous growth on a nutritionally deficient medium. The medically important Candida species could be identified within 24 hr by the combined use of serological and morphological procedures.

“…None of the filtrates contained detectable amounts of these compounds. Filtrates from batch cultures of the yeast grown at 30 or 20 C in a medium which gave glucose-limited growth in the chemostat [2% (w/v) glucose and 0.5% (w/v) (NH4)2S04] contained appreciable concentrations of esters, the production of which is a characteristic property of Candida species grown in batch culture (33).…”

Candida utilis NCYC 321 was grown in steady-state culture in a chemostat under glucose limitation or NH4+ limitation at temperatures of 30, 25, 20, and 15 C and at dilution rates (equal to growth rates) in the range of 0.35 to 0.05 hr'1. Deoxyribonucleic acid contents of cells grown under the various conditions remained approximately constant, but the contents of several other cell components varied. Over the range of 30 to 15 C, the greatest differences were in the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein contents of cells grown under NH4+ limitation, which increased

“…Many yeasts have been isolated from diseased animal tissues (Lodder and Kreger-Van Rij, 1952). Reports of syntrophic relationships between yeasts and pathogenic bacteria have been reviewed by Skinner (1960).…”
