Abstract
A morphometric analysis of Candida albicans yeast cells utilizing scanning electron microscopy showed that the cell volume and the DNA content of a tetraploid strain (derived by cell fusion) were 2.4 to 3.0 and 2.0 times, respectively, those of the progenitor diploid strain, ATCC 10261. The pathogenicities of both strains were similar.
