Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans strain WO-1 switches spontaneously and reversibly between a "white" and "opaque" phenotype that affects colony morphology, cellular phenotype, and expression of a number of phase-specific genes and virulence traits. To assess the role of the transcription regulator Tup1p in this phenotypic transition, both TUP1 alleles were deleted in the mutant delta tup1. Delta tup1 formed "fuzzy large"...
