* Counted in the same healthy people as the species (whole-genome samples). All bars use the same 0–100% scale. A product with two Candida species counts once in the genus total.
What they are
A C G T Its species' DNA
Candida genomes run from 12.7M to 14.6M.
Like ours, their cells keep their DNA in a nucleus, and genomes like that run bigger, so we don’t rank them with the gut bacteria and archaea.
One reference genome per species; strains vary.
Their ID genes, lined up: shared stretches form solid stripes
Fewer than two of its species have a reference ID-gene sequence in NCBI yet, so there's nothing to line up Data sources
From its species' genomes and lab tests
What its species can do
A species counts when most of its strains can. Not measured in anyone's gut. 4 of its 6 species aren't in either source yet.
- Can ferment fiber 1 of 1 species C. tropicalis
- Can feed on gut mucus 1 of 1 species C. albicans
- Can use lactose 0 of 1 species None of its species
What’s typical · a description, not a comparison
In healthy guts
Not found in the healthy people we have. Our healthy numbers come from whole-genome samples, which name species. Candida is only seen in 16S samples, which read genera differently, so it isn’t counted here.
Compared within studies that had both
In conditions
Not yet compared in a study with healthy people. A condition shows up here once a study has people with it and healthy people of its own, 10 or more of each.
