Stability of Candida utilis cells and spheroplasts toward gravitational forces.
Candida utilis cells and spheroplasts containing uric acid crystals in their vacuoles were not damaged by the mechanical stress of centrifugation at 20,000 x g for 10 min, as judged by plating, microscopy, and spectrophotometry.
