САПРОФИТИЧЕСКОЕ СУЩЕСТВОВАНИЕ ДРОЖЖЕПОДОБНЫХ ГРИБОВ CANDIDA ALBICANS (ЭЛЕКТРОННАЯ МИКРОСКОПИЯ)

Abstract

The article presents the results of electron microscopic studies of the saprophytic phase of the development of yeast-like fungal populations Candida albicans. The morphology, ultrastructure and phases of development of the yeast-like fungal population were studied. The stages of adhesion and colonization of microorganisms during experimental contamination of stems of germinated oat grains, granulated feed and chicken egg shells were investigated. In addition to budding, there is a survival strategy in the form of blastospores, the structure of which is visible using a scanning electron microscope. The shape, size and localization of blastospores depended on the development cycle of the population. The morphology of pseudohyphae, which play an important role in the existence and survival of the fungal population, has been studied. The morphology of pseudohyphae, which play an important role in the existence and survival of the fungal population, has been studied. The formation of biofilms at a certain stage of population development was revealed. On ultrathin sections through the colony, the three-layer cell walls of vegetative cells had a thickness less than when cultivated on a nutrient substrate. The point of view already adopted by scientists in determining the «uncultivated phase» of the existence of a population of microorganisms has been scientifically substantiated and experimentally confirmed.
