title: Enzymic activity of purified plasma membranes from the yeast and mycelial forms of Candida albicans.
abstract: Plasma membranes were isolated from the yeast and mycelial forms of Candida albicans as described previously (Marriott, 1975) and examined for the presence of several enzymes. Measurement of specific activities showed enrichment of Mg2+-dependent and Ma+/K+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and mannan synthetase, in the plasma membrane fractions from both morphological forms of the organism. However, acid and alkaline phosphatase, NADH oxidase and 5'-nucleotidase showed no such specific location.
