Abstract excerpt
Morphological development of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans is profoundly affected by ambient pH. Acidic pH restricts growth to the yeast form, whereas neutral pH permits development of the filamentous form. Superimposed on the pH restriction is a temperature requirement of approximately 37 degrees C for filamentation. The role of pH in development was investigated by selecting revertants of phr2Delta...
