Germination of the chlamydospores of Candida albicans

Germination of the chlamydospores of Candida albicans

B M Raudonis et al. Mycopathologia. .

Abstract

Using a slide culture technique, it was determined unequivocally that the chlamydospore of Candida albicans does germinate. The germination was by way of a multiple-budding process which was associated mostly with young spores following their transfer to a fresh environment. It is concluded the chlamydospore of C. albicans is a reproductive cell with a transient viability.
