FACE profile of oligosaccharides released by whole-cell acid hydrolysis of 16 Candida strains. The oligosaccharide banding patterns were specific for each Candida species. The RMI of selected bands illustrating band intensity differences, RMI 2.26 and RMI 3.10 (⌖) in C. stellatoidea, or band occurrence differences, RMI 1.82 (⋄) in C. glabrata 2001, are indicated. The RMI and relative abundances for all major bands (bands with intensities 10% greater than background) were calculated and tabulated (Table 1).
