title: [Candida albicans, Candida aquatica, Candida krusei and Candida tropicalis strains isolated from springs of Podlasie province].
abstract: Species composition of yeast-like fungi was investigated in 2001-2003 years. Four species from genus Candida were found: Candida albicans, Candida aquatica, Candida krusei and Candida tropicalis. The occurrence of yeast was investigated, using bait and the Sabouraud methods in the fresh waters of the six springs: Antoniuk, Cypisek, Sobolewo, Smolniki, Pólko and Rybnik of Podlasie Province. The fungi were found to be the most common at eutrophized sites of the spring Sobolewo. The spring Sobolewo, as compared to remaining springs, had a considerably higher concentrations of ammonium nitrogen, phosphates, and suspended substances.
