Transcriptome characterization of the dimorphic and pathogenic fungus <i>Paracoccidioides brasiliensis</i> by EST analysis
27 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a pathogenic fungus that undergoes a temperature-dependent cell morphology change from mycelium (22 degrees C) to yeast (36 degrees C). It is assumed that this morphological transition correlates with the infection of the human host. Our goal was to identify genes expressed in the mycelium (M) and yeast (Y) forms by EST sequencing in order to generate a partial map of the fungus...
