Description
Candida albicans yeast and hyphae, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Great yeast, bud scars and pseudohyphae. A yeast-like fungus commonly occurring on human skin, in the upper respiratory, alimentary and female genital tracts. This fungus has a dimorphic life cycle with yeast and hyphal stages. The yeast produces hyphae (strands) and pseudohyphae. The pseudohyphae can give rise to yeast cells by apical or lateral budding. Causes candidiasis which includes thrush (an infection of the mouth and vagina) and vulvo-vaginitis. Magnification: x1,870 when shortest axis printed at 25 millimetres.
