Induction of the<i>Candida albicans</i>Filamentous Growth Program by Relief of Transcriptional Repression: A Genome-wide Analysis
7 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans, the major human fungal pathogen, undergoes a reversible morphological transition from blastospores (round budding cells) to filaments (elongated cells attached end-to-end). This transition, which is induced upon exposure of C. albicans cells to a number of host conditions, including serum and body temperature (37 degrees C), is required for virulence. Using whole-genome DNA microarray analysis,...
