THE USE OF SOLID AND LIQUID MEDIUM TO STUDY THEEFFECTS OF HEAVY METALS ON THE GROWTH OF CANDIDA ALBICANS
Sabouraud's dextrose (solid and liquid) medium has been used to examine the response of Candida albicans to Cobalt , Nickel , Silver , Copper and Lead in three doses per each (10 , 25 and 50) mg/l in different exposure periods . In the solid medium the number of colonies was not effected by all...

| Summary: | Sabouraud's dextrose (solid and liquid) medium has been used to examine the response of
Candida albicans to Cobalt , Nickel , Silver , Copper and Lead in three doses per each (10 , 25 and
50) mg/l in different exposure periods . In the solid medium the number of colonies was not
effected by all metals ions , except Ag ions'(25 and 50) mg/l which completely inhibited the
colonies numbers . In the liquid medium the effect of these metals on the growth was in the
following sequence Co , Ni . Ag , Cu and Pb respectively: '
Most elements studied: showed increase in- the ‘inhibition effect on the growth with A
increasing the ions concentration in the medium , whilethe inhibition effect decreased with the
increasing periods of exposure |
