A complex carbohydrate specific lectin-like mucopolysaccharide extracted from the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus was found to agglutinate Candida guilliermondii cells but not those of other species of the same genus (except for a weak agglutination with C. krusei). The selective binding of this mucopolysaccharide correspondingly affected the growth of the yeasts. The results suggest that there are notable differences--at least with respect to the receptors for the F. vesiculosus mucopolysaccharide--between C. guilliermondii, C. krusei and the other Candida species.
