No change in the initial uptake of 14C-histidine in 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC)-treated C. albicans was seen, but an actual increase occurred after a longer period of incubation. Most of the histidine taken up by 5-FC-treated cells remained free in the internal pool. Incorporation into proteins was found to be significantly lower in treated than in normal cells.
