Surface hydrophobic and hydrophilic protein alterations in Candida albicans.
Cell surface hydrophobicity influences pathogenesis of Candida albicans. Previous studies suggested that stationary-phase hydrophilic and hydrophobic cells, obtained by growth at 37 and 23 degrees C, respectively, may have similar hydrophobic proteins. However, whether hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface proteins differ during the growth cycle at 37 degrees C is unknown. Freeze-fracture analysi...
متن کاملComparison of the hydrophobic properties of Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis.
Although Candida dubliniensis is a close genetic relative of Candida albicans, it colonizes and infects fewer sites. Nearly all instances of candidiasis caused by C. dubliniensis are restricted to the oral cavity. As cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) influences virulence of C. albicans, CSH properties of C. dubliniensis were investigated and compared to C. albicans. Growth temperature is one fa...
متن کاملIsolation of Candida albicans from freshwater and sewage.
The isolation and identification of Candida albicans from polluted aquatic environments were facilitated by the inclusion of a selective medium and a differential screening medium to detect the reduction of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. C. albicans occurred commonly in low numbers in sewage influents, rivers, and streams.
متن کاملIsolation and partial characterization of Hsp90 from Candida albicans.
Hsp90 is a stress-induced protein involved in many cellular processes including the regulation of signal transduction and steroid hormone response pathways in higher eukaryotic cells. Candida albicans hsp90 has a mass of 82 -Da and has previously been implicated as a virulence factor. A 47-kDa C-terminal fragment of Candida hsp90 is a target for an immune response to C. albicans infections. A C...
متن کاملIsolation and characteristics of collagenolytic enzyme produced by Candida albicans.
In media containing collagen as the nitrogen source, the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans secreted a collagenolytic enzyme. Purification of the enzyme from a culture filtrate was achieved by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography at pH 6.7. The molecular weight was found to be 46,000 by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the isoelectric point was at pH 4.2. The pH optimum...
