    Effect of glucose starvation on germ-tube production byCandida albicans (1993)

    Notes: Abstract By incubating starved and unstarved yeast cells in synthetic media with a pH of 4.5 or 6.7 at 37°C the effect of a 3 hours' glucose starvation on germ-tube production byCandida albicans was evaluated. In addition the endocellular content of total carbohydrates, glycogen, trehalose and proteins after and before the starvation were dosed. The most interesting result was the overcoming of the pH-regulated dimorphism, thanks to the starvation treatment. Infact the starved cultures produced germtubes indifferently in neutral or acid media, whereas the filamentation of the unstarved cultures was more copious in pH 6.7 medium. The endocellular content of trehalose and protein was unchanged, whereas total carbohydrates and glycogen showed a shortage after the 3 hours' glucose starvation. The possible involvements of these metabolic changes in the regulation of dimorphic transition are discussed.

    A new minimal synthetic medium for germ-tube production in Candida albicans (1991)
    Springer
    Mycopathologia 116 (1991), S. 159-163 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-0832
    Keywords: Candida albicans ; germ tube ; yeasts identification

    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: Abstract A new minimal synthetic medium, with low amount of glucose, without aminoacids, vitamins and neutral pH, which induces germ-tubes production in Candida albicans, is reported in this work. The results indicate a perfect agreement between the germ-tube test performed with the standard method in human or animal serum and this test performed in minimal synthetic medium. In this medium the germ-tube test for the presumptive identification of Candida albicans can be performed with the same formality, time and reproducibility as those in human or animal serum. This constitutes an interesting finding because it is easy to prepare, to store and is highly reproducible.
