The aim of the present study is to ascertain esterase activities of various species of Candida. A total of 125 strains isolated and identified by conventional methods were tested for esterase activity using the Tween 80 opacity test. Our results showed that 58 of 59 strains of Candida albicans, all of the Candida tropicalis strains (n = 38) and all of the Candida guilliermondii strains (n = 3) produced positive results, whereas the remaining Candida species did not. The Tween 80 opacity test is a useful method because it is simple, economical and easy to prepare and interpret.
本研究的目的是确定各种念珠菌的酯酶活性。使用吐温80不透明度试验，对通过传统方法分离和鉴定的125株菌株进行酯酶活性测试。我们的结果表明，59株白色念珠菌中的58株、所有热带念珠菌菌株（n = 38）和所有季也蒙念珠菌菌株（n = 3）产生了阳性结果，而其余念珠菌属则没有。吐温80不透明度试验是一种有用的方法，因为它简单、经济，易于准备和解读。
