White-opaque switching in Candida albicans.
The human commensal yeast Candida albicans undergoes an epigenetic switch between two distinct types of cells, referred to as white and opaque. These two cell types differ in many respects, including their cell and colony morphologies, their metabolic states, their mating behaviors, their preferred niches in the host, and their interactions with the host immune system. Each of the two cell type...
متن کاملProduction and Quality of White Asparagus Grown under Opaque Rowcovers
Black and white plastic rowcovers were established over field-grown ‘Jersey Giant’ asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.). Spears were cut for 7 weeks. Season soil temperatures were lowest under white plastic and highest without plastic covering. Night air temperature under plastic covers was ≈ 1.4C higher than without plastic covering (control), but day air temperature was typically 10C higher u...
متن کاملIR-reflective Opaque Water-based Acrylic Coatings on White Pine Wood Substrates
Two sets of opaque water-based acrylic coatings were prepared with IR-reflective pigments and conventional pigments. The objective of this work was to determine the efficiency of IR-reflective pigments in limiting the heat buildup of opaque coating formulations. Experiments performed on PVC substrates revealed that IR-reflective pigments significantly decreased the temperature increase above ro...
متن کاملHypha formation in the white-opaque transition of Candida albicans.
Cells of Candida albicans strain WO-1 and related strains switch frequently and reversibly between a white-colony-forming unit (white phase) and a gray-colony-forming unit (opaque phase). Cells in the budding white phase exhibit the usual smooth round phenotype observed in other C. albicans strains, but cells in the budding opaque phase exhibit a unique elongate shape with surface pimples or pr...
متن کاملEnvironmental Induction of White–Opaque Switching in Candida albicans
Candida albicans strains that are homozygous at the mating type locus (MTLa or MTLalpha) can spontaneously switch at a low frequency from the normal yeast cell morphology (white) to an elongated cell type (opaque), which is the mating-competent form of the fungus. The ability to switch reversibly between these two cell types also contributes to the pathogenicity of C. albicans, as white and opa...
