Regulatory circuitry governing morphogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans
4294 Cell Cycle Volume 11 issue 23 A common hallmark of many fungal species is the capacity to undergo cellular morphogenesis programs, which, for fungal pathogens, play critical roles in sexual reproduction, nutrient acquisition and virulence. Fungal morphogenesis comprises a diversity of processes, ranging from spore germination and branching in filamentous fungi such as the pathogen Aspergil...
متن کاملThe Susceptibility of Candida albicans to Gamma-Radiations and Ketoco-nazole Depends on Transitional Filamentation
The virulence of C. albicans is associated with the transitional evolution from yeast to filamentous forms. We were interested in the effects amphotericin B (AMB), ketoconazole (KTC) and gamma-radiations might have on these broadly defined phenotypes as determined by the CFU procedure. By using collagen gel as the 3-dimensional support of cell culture, diverse experimental conditions were conte...
متن کاملCandida albicans Biofilms: More Than Filamentation
Candida albicans is the fungal species most commonly associated with biofilm formation in immunosuppressed patients. Recent work offers a fresh new look at the role of filamentation in C. albicans biofilm formation, and describes the application of a powerful tool for the molecular dissection of these important developmental processes.
متن کاملIsolation of a Candida albicans DNA sequence conferring adhesion and aggregation on Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen which may give rise to superficial and systemic infections. In the present study, C. albicans adhesion was studied by expression of C. albicans DNA sequences encoding adhesion functions in a nonadherent strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Adherent transformant cells of S. cerevisiae harbouring a C. albicans genomic library cloned in a yeast-Escheric...
متن کاملFilamentation Involves Two Overlapping, but Distinct, Programs of Filamentation in the Pathogenic Fungus Candida albicans
The ability of the human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans to switch between yeast-like and filamentous forms of growth has long been linked to pathogenesis. Numerous environmental conditions, including growth at high temperatures, nutrient limitation, and exposure to serum, can trigger this morphological switch and are frequently used in in vitro models to identify genes with roles in filamen...
