title: [Effect of an improved rice soup culture medium on Candida albicans forming chlamydospore].
abstract: Three types of culture medium that stimulated Candida albicans to form chlamydospore were compared with the improved rice soup culture medium. The results were that the effect of the improved rice soup culture medium on stimulating C. albicans to form chlamydospore was better than the effects of others; a large number of chlamydospores could be gotten in 18 h. The results indicate that this method, the improved rice soup culture medium, is easy, simple, and economic. A method for making the teaching slide of C. albicans forming chlamydospore was also introduced.
