The fungus Candida albicans is often a benign member of the mucosal flora; however, it
commonly causes mucosal disease with substantial morbidity and in vulnerable patients it …

The human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans can grow in at least three different
morphologies: yeast, pseudohyphae and hyphae. Further morphological forms exist during …

Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is found in the normal
gastrointestinal flora of most healthy humans. However, under certain environmental …

Candida albicans is termed a dimorphic fungus because it proliferates in either a yeast form
or a hyphal form. The switch between these forms is the result of a complex interplay of …

Septins are an evolutionarily conserved group of GTP‐binding and filament‐forming
proteins that belong to the large superclass of P‐loop GTPases. While originally discovered …

Candida albicans, an opportunistic human pathogen, displays three modes of growth: yeast,
pseudohyphae and true hyphae, all of which differ both in morphology and in aspects of cell …

Protein kinases play key roles in signaling and response to changes in the external
environment. The ability of Candida albicans to quickly sense and respond to changes in its …

Among Candida species, the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida glabrata has become
the second most common causative agent of candidiasis in the world and a major public …

The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans has many morphological forms. Recent
advances in genomics and cell biology are providing an improved understanding of the …

Morphogenesis control by chemical signaling molecules is beginning to be highlighted in
Candida biology. The present study focuses on morphogenic compounds produced in situ …
