Abstract
Candida albicans from a patient with dental caries grew on minimal med ium consisting of agar supplemented with magnesium chloride and sodium phosphate. Hyphal growth was observed when the yeast was cultured bet ween 26 degrees C and 28 degrees C under aerobic conditions, and typic al chlamydospores were formed. However, when the yeast was cultured at the same temperature under anaerobic conditions, curly hyphae develop ed on the surface of the medium, but no chlamydospores were formed. Th is phenomenon was also observed if the culture was started under aerob ic conditions but was continued under anaerobic conditions.
