candida biology links

if you want to know more about the biology of candida, there are three places to look on the web. the pages are written for scientists, as candida is a standard model organism in laboratory studies of yeast biology. i don't think they contain anything that'll directly help you with your crotch, but if you want information, definitely check it out.

for a basic introduction to yeasts, stanford university has some serious but fairly readable information on their yeast virtual library page.

the university of texas medical branch has a site for medical researchers studying yeasts. it has some nice pictures (including the one that brought you here), a smidge on candida and candidiasis, as well as information on other fungi and the diseases they cause.

THE candida biology homepage is at the university of minnesota. the site is designed for researchers interested in genetics and molecular biology of candida, and is pretty dry and hardcore. it has links to other information on candida biology as well as pictures of mutant and normal strains. go to town.

new news! the genome of Candida albicans has been sequenced. you can read the abstract here.
