The close mapping between genotype and morphological phenotype in many contemporary
metazoans has led to the general notion that the evolution of organismal form is a direct …

Production of farnesol by Candida albicans is the first quorum-sensing system discovered in
a eukaryote (29). In C. albicans, accumulated farnesol affects both dimorphism (29, 50) and …

Candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus that causes severe opportunistic infections in
humans. Recent advances in molecular biology techniques applied to this organism …

The morphological plasticity of Candida albicans is an important determinant of
pathogenicity, and nonfilamentous mutants are avirulent. HWP1, a hypha-specific gene, was …

In recent years, the incidence of fungal infections has been rising all over the world.
Although the amount of research in the field of pathogenic fungi has also increased, there is …

The Hog1 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase mediates an adaptive response to both
osmotic and oxidative stress in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans. This protein also …

ABSTRACT WRKY and GCM1 are metal chelating DNA-binding domains (DBD) which
share a four stranded fold. Using sensitive sequence searches, we show that this WRKY …

White–opaque switching in Candida albicans was first discovered in 1987. Fifteen years
later, and three years after the discovery of the mating system, it was demonstrated that the …

Developmental biologists study changes in shape and form of embryonic tissues, the
differentiation of their constituent cell types, the patterned arrangement of the resulting cells …

A Candida albicans gene encoding a novel DNA-binding protein that bound to the RPG box
of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the telomeric repeat sequence o C albicans was …
