-growth of Candida species in the mouth or vagina causes "thrush", a form of candidiasis.
-The cell walls of the ascomycetes almost always contain chitin and β-glucans.
-The septa commonly have a small opening in the center, which functions as a cytoplasmic connection between adjacent cells, also sometimes allowing cell-to-cell movement of nuclei within a hypha.
-Vegetative hyphae of most ascomycetes contain only one nucleus per cell (uninucleate hyphae), but multinucleate cells—especially in the apical regions of growing hyphae—can also be present.
