Macromolecular Syntheses during the Cell Cycles of Yeast and Hyphal Phases of Candida albicans

Abstract: SUMMARYSynchronous cultures of yeast and hyphal phases of Candida albicans showed exponential increases in RNA content and stepwise exponential increases in DNA content. The periods of DNA synthesis in the two phases coincided with one another and with the budding peaks of the yeast phase. Hyphae grown in synchronous cultures also showed an exponential increase in length. The hyphal phase was therefore normal.Hyphal nuclear division occurred after hyphal DNA synthesis, Germination was a unique event for a hyph… Show more

“…growing as the mother cell and then the bud in turn evaginates (Herman & Soll, 1984). In contrast, a mycelium elongates continuously (Soll et al, 1981b;Wain et al, 1976;Gow & Gooday, 1982) and, under the conditions of pH-regulated dimorphism (Buffo et al, 1984), does not form secondary mycelia or buds. Second, the shape of the bud is round to ellipsoidal, whereas the shape of the mycelium is tubular (compare tracings in Fig.…”

“…In the mycelial form, an evagination which appears on the mother cell expands into an elongated tube, far narrower than the bud (Soll et al, 1981b;Herman & Soll, 1984). In contrast to a bud, the tube grows uninterruptedly as an elongated mycelium or hypha (Soll et al, 1981 b ;Wain et al, 1976;Gow & Gooday, 1982). These differences in shape as well as growth continuity must somehow translate into spatial and temporal differences in cell wall deposition.…”

“…The decrease in carbohydrate or protein content of the control hyphae (table I) differed from the rise and fall seen in control blastospores. The hyphae, however, were grown in serum which supports a lower, final yield than in YNB and a shorter exponential phase of growth than the blastospores, although the exponential growth rate was similar (Wain et al, 1976a). In addition, electron micrographs of older regions of the hyphae have shown autolytic changes (Pugh and Cawson, 1977).…”

“…The concentrations of constituents of hyphae have been expressed as pglpm hyphal length because, in exponential growth, hyphal elongation and increase in blastospore numbers are parallelled (Wain et al, 1976a).…”
