Calcification by Candida albicans.

J Ennever, F E Summers

    Journal of Bacteriology
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The fungus Candida albicans forms calcium phosphate deposits when grown in a specific medium. These deposits exhibit X-ray diffraction patterns identical to biological apatite, indicating biomineralization.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Biomineralization
    • Mycology

    Background:

    • Certain microorganisms are known to induce calcification.
    • Candida albicans is a common fungal species.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the biomineralization potential of Candida albicans.
    • To characterize the mineral deposits formed by Candida albicans.

    Main Methods:

    • Culturing Candida albicans in a chemically defined medium.
    • Analyzing mineral deposits using X-ray diffraction.

    Main Results:

    • Candida albicans formed calcium phosphate deposits.
    • The deposits showed X-ray diffraction maxima consistent with biological apatite.

    Conclusions:

    • Candida albicans is capable of biomineralization.
    • The fungus produces apatite-like calcium phosphate deposits.
