What is Candida?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Candida is a fungus, a member of the yeast family and the most common cause of fungal infections. Only tiny bits should live in the mouth and intestines, to assist in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fungi appear as mushrooms, truffles, molds, a leavening agent for bread, as fermentation of food products, and are used to produce antibiotics. <\/span>Fungi are separate from bacteria because their cell walls contain a chitin<\/span><\/a> covering.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They interact with plants, animals, parasites, and other fungi.<\/span> <\/span>Recently, various enzymes<\/span><\/a> produced by fungi are used industrially, in detergents, and as biological pesticides to control weeds, plant diseases and insect pests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fungi feed on dissolved molecules by secreting digestive enzymes. <\/span>Growth is their means of mobility. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Candida Albicans: Your Dark Doppelganger<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fungi break down manufactured materials and buildings. They become significant pathogens<\/span><\/a> of humans and other animals, because they <\/span>produce bioactive toxic compounds. Some of the <\/span><\/span>5 Million species contain psychotropic compounds that are consumed recreationally or in traditional ceremonies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Candida is the most common cause of fungal infections. Many species are harmless. However, when mucosal barriers are disrupted or the immune system<\/span><\/a> is compromised, they will overgrow, invade and cause many debilitating diseases. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Candida albicans<\/span><\/a> (Lat: ‘sweet & whitish’) is a diploid<\/span><\/a> fungus. Candida grown in labs appears as large, round, white or cream colonies with a yeasty odor. The albicans version ferments glucose & maltose to acid & gas, sucrose to acid, but does not ferment lactose<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DNA Translation<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Many species of Candida use a non-standard genetic code<\/span><\/a> in the translation<\/span><\/a> of their nuclear genes into the amino acid<\/span><\/a> sequences. The difference in the genetic code is that the codon CUG<\/span><\/a> (normally encoding the amino acid leucine<\/span>) is translated by the yeast as amino acid, serine<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The alternative translation of the CUG codon in these species is due to a novel nucleic acid<\/span><\/a> sequence in the serine-tRNA<\/span><\/a> (ser-tRNA-CAG), glutamine, which has a guanosine<\/span><\/a> located at position 33, 5′ to the anticodon. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring, non-essential amino acid in the human body, and one of the few amino acids that can directly cross the blood–brain barrier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In all other tRNAs, this position is normally occupied by a pyrimidine<\/span><\/a> (often uridine<\/span>). This genetic code change is the only such known alteration in cytoplasmic mRNA<\/span><\/a>, in both the prokaryotes<\/span><\/a>, and the eukaryotes<\/span><\/a>, involving the reassignment of a sense codon<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This novel genetic coding appears to be a mechanism for very rapid adaptation to the organism’s environment, as well as playing an important role in the evolution of the genus Candida by creating new species.
