FACE profile of oligosaccharides released by whole-cell β-elimination of 16 Candida strains. The oligosaccharide banding patterns were specific for each Candida species. The RMI of bands that are specific for C. albicans 3153A andC. tropicalis (⋄) or more prominent in C. albicans A9 and C. stellatoidea (⌖) are indicated. The RMI for all major bands (bands with intensities 10% greater than background) were calculated and tabulated (Table 2).
