title: Evidence for a glucose effect on N-acetylglucosamine catabolism in Candida albicans.
abstract: Two strains of Candida albicans were examined for a glucose effect on the catabolism of N-acetylglucosamine. It was shown that the induction of N-acetylglucosamine uptake capacity was almost completely blocked by glucose at 0.5% (w/v), whereas that of N-acetylglucosamine kinase was partially repressed.
