[Aspartate, alanine, glutamate, malate glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases in Candida albicans]

Multiple molecular forms of aspartate, alanine, glutamate, malate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases were studied in the course of Candida albicans growth using electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. The isozyme spectrum and the activity of dehydrogenases were found to depend on the cultural age and the cofactor being used (NAD or NADP). The protein-antigenic spectrum and the composition of multiple molecular forms of dehydrogenases were compared in C. albicans in the course of its growth in order to characterize more completely the properties of the culture at a certain growth phase.
