    Notes: Abstract Genetic relatedness between strains of C. albicans and C. stellatoidea was studied by measuring G + C content and overall sequence homology. G + C contents determined by high-performance liquid chromatography were 32.6 to 34.2% for 26 strains of C. albicans and 33.0 to 33.9% for eight strains of C. stellatoidea. DNA-DNA hybridization with two C. albicans and two C. stellatoidea probes revealed that all 34 test strains formed a single cluster in which the extents of hybridization with the heterologous probes ranged between 77.9 and 105.6% of those with the homologous probes. These results give support to the unification of C. albicans and C. stellatoidea into a single species.

    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The rapid-freezing technique was applied in association with scanning and transmission electron microscopy to observe the initial attachment (or contact) ofCandida albicans cells to exfoliated human buccal epithelial cells. Low temperature scanning electron microscopy provided detailed three-dimensional morphological features of the yeast-epithelial cell association; adhesion ofC. albicans cells to host cells was primarily owing to an interaction between fibrillar layer of the yeast cell wall and the membrane interdigitations of the epithelial cells. Such a particular interconnection between the two cells was confirmed by the freeze-substitution fixation for transmission electron microscopy. These results clearly demonstrate the outermost fibrillar cell wall layer ofC. albicans responsible for adhesion to host cells.
