Abstract excerpt
Two model biofilm systems, involving growth on disks of catheter material or on cylindrical cellulose filters, were used to investigate the structure of Candida albicans biofilms. To assess the importance of dimorphism in biofilm development, biofilms produced by two wild-type strains were compared with those formed by two morphological mutants, incapable of yeast and hyphal growth, respectively.
