Hemin induces germ tube formation in Candida albicans.
Hemin induced germination of Candida albicans blastoconidia when cells grown up to the early exponential phase were shifted from 28 to 37 degrees C (70 to 75% of cells exhibited germ tubes). N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc), another inducer of myceliation in this fungus, caused a similar effect. The combination of hemin and GlcNAc resulted in a higher percentage (95%) of blastoconidial germinati...
متن کاملIn Vitro Effect of Local Anesthetics on Candida albicans Germ Tube Formation
OBJECTIVE This study was planned to clarify the in vitro effect of lidocaine and bupivacaine on germ tube formation by Candida albicans isolates from cases of clinical vaginal candidiasis. METHODS Fourteen C. albicans strains (clinical vaginal isolates) were grown on Sabouraud agar for 24 h at 37 and tested as follows: 100 microl of a yeast suspension [10(5) colony forming units (CFU)/ml of p...
متن کاملGerm tube and chlamydospore formation by Candida albicans on a new medium.
A new medium composed of "cream of rice" infusion, oxgall, Tween 80, and agar is described for the sequential development of germ tubes and chlamydospores by Candida albicans. The procedure used (Dalmau's technique) is an improvement over the fluid substrate procedures previously advocated for germ tube formation. That the same preparation is then used for chlamydospore production is of practic...
متن کاملIdentification of the dialysable serum inducer of germ-tube formation in Candida albicans.
Yeast cells of Candida albicans are induced by serum at 37 degrees C to produce germ tubes, the first step in a transition from yeast to hyphal growth. Previously, it has been shown that the active component is not serum albumin but is present in the dialysable fraction of serum. In this study, serum induction of germ-tube formation is shown to occur even in the presence of added exogenous nitr...
متن کاملNew monoclonal antibody specific for Candida albicans germ tube.
Hydrophobic components of the germ tube of the dimorphic pathogenic fungus Candida albicans were used as immunogens to prepare monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Among the resulting MAbs, one (MAb 16B1-F10) was shown by indirect immunofluorescence to be specific to the surface of the mycelium phase of the C. albicans and C. stellatoidea species. No labeling of any other genera and Candida species te...
