Mating in Candida albicans and the search for a sexual cycle.

Annual review of microbiology - 1 Jan 2005

Bennett R J, Johnson A D

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans is a normal part of the human microflora, but it is also an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes both mucosal infections and life-threatening systemic infections. Until recently, C. albicans was thought to be asexual, existing only as an obligate diploid. However, a mating locus was identified that was homologous to those in sexually reproducing fungi, and mating of C. albicans strains was...
