| Abstract: | Through use of a synthetic defined medium which allows for the exclusive growth of yeast or mycelial forms of Candida albicans the activity of several major glycolytic enzymes in these forms were examined and compared. The results indicate vast metabolic differences between the forms. These data are discussed in relationship to the phenomenon of morphogenesis in C. albicans which in turn relates to problems in immunology and pathogenics of this important opportunistic organism. |
