title: Demonstration of the polysaccharides in the cell wall of Candida albicans blastospores, using silver methenamine staining and a sequence of extraction procedures.
abstract: Blastospores of Candida albicans were subjected to a series of extractions of increasing severity to remove polysaccharides from the wall. The procedure was observed by electron microscopy, using silver methenamine staining to localize the polysaccharides.
