[Mycological comparative study of Candida stellatoidea and C. albicans (author's transl)]

The taxonomical value of the specific distinction of C. albicans and C. stellatoidea was in mind, in the mycological study of: one homogenous group of 292 isolates of C. albicans and an other of 11 C. stellatoidae, of collection in majority. The growth in a liquid medium, the production: of chlamydospores, mycelium, pseudomycelium, germ-tubes, the fermentation and assimilation of carbohydrates, the tetrazolium-test, the actidione resistance and the maximal temperature for growth were the morpho-physiological characteristics studied. Were also reported some variations observed on two C. stellatoidea from which the type-strain of that species, cultured in two different laboratories.
