[ 3 ] - PHOSPHOLIPID ANALOGUE DISTRIBUTIONS OF IRANIAN ISOLATES OF CANDIDA

The aim of this study was to analyse polar lipids of Candida species isolated from Ahwaz (Iran) by Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry (FAB MS). Nine isolates of Candida Sp. were identified by growth at 45°C, production of chlamydoconidia on cornmeal agar, colonial colour on CHROMagar Candida, germ tube production and ID 32C kits. Then polar lipids were extracted from freeze-dried cult...
