Abstract
A scanning electron microscopic study of 10 isolates of Candida albicans in various stages of growth was undertaken. Morphologic details of the processes of budding, germ tube formation and the development of pseudomycelia and chlamydospores are presented. The nature and origin of an interconnecting meshwork of filamentous strands and of lateral cellular processes extending on to or into the surrounding solid media are discussed.Keywords
