Various carbohydrates tried as inducing agents for mycelia formation in Candida albicans in liquid medium have revealed that mycelia formation was very pronounced in the presence of any of the sugars like xylose, galactose, lactose and trehalose. Glucose and fructose favoured lavish yeast growth. Arabinose supported neither yeast nor mycelia growth to any appreciable extent. In a growth medium containing a mixture of glucose and galactose, a glucose concentration of 0.7% (w/v) and above was required to maintain the fungus completely in the yeast form. The possible reason as to why sufficient glucose maintained the yeast form while galactose favoured the mycelial form was discussed.
在液体培养基中，尝试用各种碳水化合物作为白色念珠菌菌丝体形成的诱导剂，结果表明，在木糖、半乳糖、乳糖和海藻糖等任何一种糖存在的情况下，菌丝体形成都非常明显。葡萄糖和果糖有利于酵母大量生长。阿拉伯糖在任何可观的程度上都既不支持酵母生长也不支持菌丝体生长。在含有葡萄糖和半乳糖混合物的生长培养基中，需要0.7%（w/v）及以上的葡萄糖浓度才能使真菌完全保持酵母形态。文中讨论了为什么足够的葡萄糖能维持酵母形态而半乳糖有利于菌丝体形态的可能原因。
