Abstract:
The presence of colony projections, often referred to as "feet," have typically been considered a characteristic of Candida albicans. In the current study that examined the colony morphology of numerous different species of Candida, several clinical isolates of Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei were also noted to produce "feet." The medium and growth conditions under which colony projections were produced by these species were characterized.
