Abstract excerpt
Biofilm is the predominant type of microbial development in natural environments, and potentially represents a major form of resistance or source of recurrence during host infection. Although a large number of studies have focussed on the genetics of bacterial biofilm formation, very little is known about the genes involved in this type of growth in fungi. A genetic screen for Candida glabrata Biofilm mutants was...
