Abstract
A total of 215 typical strains of Candida albicans were studied for their ability to assimilate 11 carbon compounds. All isolates assimilated lactic acid, ribitol, succinic acid, methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. None of the isolates assimilated cellobiose and salicin; 1.9% of the isolates assimilated L-arabinose. Citric acid, glycerol, and L-sorbose were assimilated by greater than 97% of the isolates, whereas melezitose was assimilated by 81% of the isolates. Assimilation results depended on duration of incubation, temperature, and methodology.Entities:
