One of the problems facing the use of n-paraffms as a substrate for Candida yeast is the presence of residual hydrocarbons in the product. ... 

The reduction of 4-chloroacetoacetate ethyl ester (CAAE) to 4-chloro-3-hydroxy-butanoate ethyl ester (CHBE) usually proceeds stereospecifically [54, 55]. This activity is widely distributed in yeasts, molds and bacteria, most of which give the (S)-enantiomer. Sporobolomyces salmonicolor was found to produce the (l )-enan-tiomer predominantly (62% e. e.) with high molar conversion [54,55], and several Candida yeasts formed (S)-CHBE of high optical purity (> 90% e. e.) [54,55]. 

Out of 364 other tested enterobacteria 3 E. coli strains were positive, as were 8 of 9 Candida yeast isolates. These findings are not surprising because reciprocal cross-reactions between Salmonella Cl and some E. coli strains are well known (26) and in yeasts a mannan consisting of an a,l- -6 linked poly-D-mannose backbone with branches of a,l->-2 and a,l- -3 linked D-mannose residues is a principal cell-wall constituent (27). 

More recent staining procedures largely use fluorescent dyes to characterize the physiological and biochemical states of cells. Fluorescein Diacetate (FDA), a non-polar substance which crosses the membrane and is hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases in viable cells to produce fluorescein, exhibits yellow-green fluorescence when excited at 490 nm. Damaged or non-viable cells in general are unable to hydrolyze FDA or to retain fluorescein within the cell [172,173]. In combination with Ethidium Homodimer or Propidium Iodide, a similar esterase substrate, calcein acetoxy methyl ester (CAM) has been found to be reliable for viability assessment of protozoans, but not on Candida yeast, neither on bacteria such as Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli [174].

Sporothrix schenckii may be confused in tissue sections with Blastomyces dermatitidis and fungal agents of phaeohyphomycosis. In addition, yeast cells of Sporothrix schenckii may be sparsely present in tissues. Antibodies against yeast cells of S. schenckii are sensitive but demonstrate cross-reactivity with Candida species however, after specific adsorption of the antibody with Candida yeast cells, the cross-reactivity of the antibodies is eliminated.

Many experiences exist for the regeneration of NADH by use of an NAD -dependent formate dehydrogenase fi om a Candida yeast (94) which catalyses Reaction [28]. 

Since the coumarin compounds show phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity, the observed change in the morphology of Candida albicans could be partly due to this property. Each Candida yeast cell can normally have a budding scar or the daughter cell still attached to it [319]. The possible cause of multibudding phenomenon could be PD inhibition. A similar observation was done in treatment with caffeine, which at the subinhibitory concentrations caused an increase in unusual modes of proliferation with signs of multiple budding in Candida albicans [320].
