In Candida albicans, White-Opaque Switchers Are Homozygous for Mating Type
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
The relationship between the configuration of the mating type locus (MTL) and white-opaque switching in Candida albicans has been examined. Seven genetically unrelated clinical isolates selected for their capacity to undergo the white-opaque transition all proved to be homozygous at the MTL locus, either MTLa or MTLalpha. In an analysis of the allelism of 220 clinical isolates representing the five major clades...
