摘要：
Chlamydospores are distinctive morphological forms characteristic of Candida albicans, a phenomenon shared only with the closely related species Candida dubliniensis. The production of chlamydospores has remained an important diagnostic criterion for the differentiation of C. albicans and C. dubliniensis from other yeast. We herein describe a new medium, mustard agar, for chlamydosporulation in Candida. All the strains of C. dubliniensis and C. albicans tested produced chlamydospores on mustard agar, whereas none of the other five species produced chlamydospores.
