Summary Candida albicans from a patient with dental caries grew on minimal medium consisting of agar supplemented with magnesium chloride and sodium phosphate. Hyphal growth was observed when the yeast was cultured between 26 °C and 28 °C under aerobic conditions, and typical chlamydospores were formed. However, when the yeast was cultured at the same temperature under anaerobic conditions, curly hyphae developed on the surface of the medium, but no chlamydospores were formed. This phenomenon was also observed if the culture was started under aerobic conditions but was continued under anaerobic conditions.
