Abstract
Candida albicans counts were assessed in Mediterranean sea water using MCA media. From 116 seawater samples C. albicans was detected in 22 s amples of 100 ml sea water. In sixteen samples only one colony, and in six samples two colonies, of C. albicans were found and the fungus do es not appear to be an important contaminant of sea water.
