Abstract excerpt
Cell-surface hydrophobicity (CSH) in Candida albicans contributes to virulence and can be conveniently regulated in planktonic cultures by altering growth temperature. The CSH1 gene is the first candidate gene that has been demonstrated to play a role in affecting the CSH phenotype. However, the primary amino acid sequence of the CSH1 gene product suggests that the protein should be restricted to the cytoplasm. A...
