candida albicans are a type of yeast (fungus) that grow as normal flora on the human body, but can cause varying symptoms if their growth is not in the normal range of human bodily flora
The genus of Candida albicans is Candida and the species is albicans.
No, Candida albicans is a diploid fungus.
Candida is a yeast that occurs naturally in the human body. Normally it lives in harmony with a variety of other microorganisms and actually performs some functions. Candida becomes problematic when something upsets the balance of bacteria in the body and candida is allowed to proliferate, morph into a fungus and take over all the healthy microorganisms.

The germ tube test is a diagnostic test used to differentiate Candida albicans from other Candida species. It involves incubating yeast cells in serum to induce germ tube formation, which is a characteristic of Candida albicans. If germ tubes are produced, it indicates the presence of Candida albicans.

Monilia and Candida albicans are both types of fungi, but they belong to different genera. Monilia is a genus that includes various species of fungi, while Candida albicans refers to a specific species within the Candida genus. Candida albicans is commonly found on the skin and mucous membranes of humans and can cause infections, whereas Monilia infections are less common and typically affect plants.
The confirmation test for Candida albicans is a germ tube test. This test involves incubating Candida yeast cells in human or animal serum at 37°C for 2-3 hours, where true C. albicans strains will exhibit germ tube formation. This is a specific test for identifying C. albicans among other Candida species.
