| Abstract |
Unlike asymmetrical division of budding yeast, the daughter cell in the pseudomycelial form of Candida albicans at division was nearly equal in size to the mother cell, it had a larger amount of protein, RNA and active protoplasm (cell size minus vacuolar volume) than the mother cell, and it budded earlier than the mother cell. Results presented here suggest that the cell size control over bud initiation found in budding yeasts is also applicable to the pseudomycelial cells of C. albicans if vacuolar volume is omitted from cell size.
