Expert Solution
Step 1

Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast that is commonly found in the human gut flora. It can also survive outside the human body. The culture plate in the picture shows small, oval, creamy, pasty colonies with smooth edges. These are the characteristics of Candida albicans in its yeast form. Absence of any hyphal or filamentous projections on it discards the possibility of the Candida albicans in its filamentous form.
