Abstract
The adherent condition of Candida albicans IFO 1385 to acrylic was studied in-vitro.
The results obtained were as follows:
1) The cells cultured in the synthetic media (YNB) containing 500mM galactose adhered to acrylic greater than that cultured in the YNB containing 500mM glucose.
2) The cells prepared by standing culture adhered to acrylic.greater than that prepared by shaking culture.
3) A sufficient number of the adherent yeasts to acrylic was obtained when the acrylic plates were incubated at 37°C for 90 min in the yeast suspension at the concentration of 1.0×107/ml, and the plates were observed without staining.
