Dibutylphthalate and Tween 80 alter ultrastructure in Candida albicans: implications for peroxisome proliferation.
Phthalates are ubiquitous environmental pollutants associated with endocrine disruption and peroxisome proliferation in experimental animals. In yeasts exposed to environmental chemicals, including phthalates, alterations in cell growth, cellular morphology, and H2O2 detoxification occur. Nutrient availability also influences diverse cellular processes. Differences in responses to environmental...
متن کاملTween 80 opacity test responses of various Candida species.
A total of 111 Candida isolates representing 11 species were examined for their respective responses to a Tween 80 opacity test. The strains of Candida albicans and C. tropicalis that were examined produced an opacity response around their colonies at 2 to 3 days postinoculation. A second group of Candida species yielded a halo around their colonies at 8 to 10 days postinoculation. The remainin...

The secreted aspartyl proteinases of Candida albicans (products of the SAP genes) are thought to contribute to virulence through their effects on Candida adherence, invasion, and pathogenicity. From a single strain of C. albicans (WO-1) which expresses a phenotypic switching system, three secreted aspartyl proteinases have been identified as determined by molecular weight and N-terminal sequenc...

Figure 1. Fluorescent protein fusions in Candida albicans. Useful fluorescent markers for tracking subcellular structures in C. albicans include: DAPI (DNA); Nop1-GFP (green fluorescent protein, localizing to the nucleolus); Hhf1-GFP (chromatin); Tub2-GFP (microtubules, green); and Tub4-mCherry fluorescent protein (spindle pole bodies, red).

متن کامل[Candida albicans].
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogen. Its proliferation in human hosts is believed to be controlled by immunologic mechanisms. The plasma membrane of the fungus posseses an H+-ATPase (PM-ATPase) which actively extrudes protons to generate an electrochemical gradient which is used in co-transport of nutrients. This ATPase is associated with the growth, dimorphism and pathogenicity of th...
