Abstract
The morphological and physiological characters of an atypical Candida isolated from diverse clinical specimens are described. The colony and microscopic morphologies of the atypical Candida most closely resemble those of Candida tropicalis or of reported sucrose-negative variants of C. tropicalis. However, the atypical isolates differ from C. tropicalis by their inability to ferment sucrose or melezitose and from the sucrose-negative variants by their inability to assimilate inulin and their varied utilization of other carbon substrates.
