Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to characterize switch phenotypes in Candida albicans biofilms. Cells of Candida albicans 192887g biofilms (24 h) were resuspended and these together with their planktonic counterparts were separately inoculated on Lee's medium agar supplemented with arginine and zinc, at 25 degrees C for 9 days, for colony formation. The different switch phenotypes, as reflected by varying colony...
