The influence of cellular surface hydrophobicity on the adherence capacity to plastic of Candida albicans was investigated at two culture temperatures (37 and 22 degrees C). The majority of the 42 strains studied were hydrophobic at 22 degrees C and hydrophilic at 36 degrees C. The hydrophobic cells showed a consistent adherence capacity which was absent from the hydrophilic strains. The culture temperatures affect adherence to plastic of C. albicans by changing the cellular surface hydrophobicity.
在两个培养温度(37摄氏度和22摄氏度)下研究了白色念珠菌细胞表面疏水性对其在塑料上黏附能力的影响。所研究的42株菌株中,大多数在22摄氏度时呈疏水性,在36摄氏度时呈亲水性。疏水性细胞表现出稳定的黏附能力,而亲水性菌株则没有这种能力。培养温度通过改变细胞表面疏水性来影响白色念珠菌在塑料上的黏附。
