Effects of sodium dodecylsulfate on physiological, biochemical ad cytomorphological properties of Сandida and Saccharomyces genera

Abstract

Physiological, biochemical, cyto-morphological properties of initial strain Candida albicans ATCC 10331, Saccharomyces sp. КНУ 1 and their variants, which were cultivated in medium Saburo with anionic surfactant (SAS) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) have been compared. It was shown that the effect of SDS was accompanied by disappearance of possibility to assimilate a number of substrates, but did not affect antibiotics sensitivity. They changed its morphology after 1 passage, diminution quantity of volutin, appearance of fat inclusion. Morphology of cells partially restored after 4-th passage.
