Does anyone know a simple test that I could use to tell the difference
between the yeasts Saccharomyces and Candida? I am a biochemist looking for
receptors used by Candida on mammalian cells. I do not want to study
Saccharomyces and would like to show that the organisms I am working with
are Candida. I have a pure strain from ATCC and can probably send samples
to the hospital laboratory for characterization, but I would also like to be
able to do this in my laboratory if possible.
