Formation of aerial hyphae in Candida albicans.
Each of 22 isolates of Candida albicans was induced to produce aerial hyphae by culturing on a solid medium containing a peptone, acid-hydrolyzed casein, soluble starch, and agar in an atmosphere of 10% CO(2) at 37 C and room temperatures. Production of aerial hyphae is not diagnostic for C. albicans. Some of the other species of Candida may also produce such structures.
