Abstract excerpt
When type I Candida stellatoidea is plated onto sucrose agar at levels in excess of 10(8) cells, some isolates spontaneously form sucrose-positive colonies. These isolates do not display typical type I phenotypes but instead exhibit phenotypes intermediate between type I C. stellatoidea and C. albicans. Also, this phenotypic change only occurs in conjunction with a chromosomal rearrangement. These rearrangements...
