Growth and Respiration Characteristics of Candida albicans

  • Chapter
Candida Albicans

Abstract

The dimorphic fungus, Candida albicans, grows best under aerobic conditions, although it does exhibit a limited degree of anaerobic growth. Growth rates of C. albicans show substantial variations according to the strain and culture conditions used. Under optimal conditions it can achieve maximal doubling times of just under 1 h [29,99].
