Abstract

Six liquid media were compared for their ability to promote hyphal growth of Candida albicans. The two clinical isolates used in this study reacted similarly. The proportion of hyphal growth and the time at which hyphal development reached a peak varied in the media tested. All media produced secondary growth characteristics of lateral budding after peak hyphal development. The Lee-Buckley-Campbell (LBC) synthetic medium induced the highest proportion of filaments; which were also longer than in the other media tested.

Summary

Seis medios liquidos de cultivo fueron comparados en el crecimiento de hifas de Candida albicans. Las dos cepas aisladas de casos clinicos para este estudio, se comportaron en forma similar. La proporcion en el crecimiento de las hifas y el tiempo en el cual el desavrollo de las hifas llego al maximo fue variable para los diferentes medios. Despues del desavrollo se las hifas, toda los medios produjeron crecimiento secundario caractevizados por gemacion. El medio sintetico de Lee-Buckley-Campbell produjo la proporcion mayor de filamentos los que ademas fueron mas largos que los producidos con los otras medios ensayados.
