Abstract excerpt
It is important to know responses of the pathogenic fungi to reactive oxygen species by which hosts protect themselves against fungal infection. In the present study, sensitivities to the superoxide radical (O2-) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were compared between a wild-type parent strain and a respiration-deficient mutant of Candida albicans. When their survival was examined on an agar medium containing an...
