Germ tube and chlamydospore formation by Candida albicans on a new medium

F Beheshti et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

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 practical importance for the clinical mycology laboratory.
