Fine structural studies on the septa of Candida albicans in vitro (when leading a saprophytic existence) and the organism in its invasive form (as a pathogen in oral candidosis) have shown that in the former the septum exhibits a unique central perforation resembling an aggregate of fine canaliculi connecting one cell to the other. In the invasive form the septum is non-perforated and appears as a solid structure. Septal ultrastructure is well characterised in many pathogenic fungi. Our observations on Candida albicans do not resemble any previous studies carried out on other deutromycetous fungi.
对白色念珠菌在体外（腐生状态时）的隔膜以及侵袭形式的菌体（作为口腔念珠菌病病原体时）的精细结构研究表明，在腐生状态下，隔膜呈现出独特的中央穿孔，类似连接一个细胞与另一个细胞的微管集合。在侵袭形式下，隔膜无穿孔，呈现为实体结构。隔膜超微结构在许多致病真菌中都有很好的特征描述。我们对白色念珠菌的观察结果与之前对其他半知菌类真菌进行的任何研究都不相似。
