CandidaThe genus Candida is characterized by globose to elongate yeast-like cells or blastoconidia that reproduce by multilateral budding. Most Candida species are also characterized by the presence of well developed pseudohyphae, however this characteristic may be absent, especially in those species formally included in the genus Torulopsis. Arthroconidia, ballistoconidia and colony pigmentation are always absent. Within the genus Candida, fermentation, nitrate assimilation and inositol assimilation may be present or absent, however, all inositol positive strains produce pseudohyphae.
