Calcium, sequestering agents and nystatin--interactions on cell wall morphology and fungistasis of Candida albicans.
The addition of nystatin to Candida albicans causes deep depressions in the cell walls and prevents budding. Sodium fluoride and EDTA cause similar depressions in the cell walls but do not reduce budding as much as nystatin.
