Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans is a commensal fungus of mucosal surfaces that can cause disease in susceptible hosts. One aspect of the success of C. albicans as both a commensal and a pathogen is its ability to adapt to diverse environmental conditions, including dramatic variations in environmental pH. The response to a neutral-to-alkaline pH change is controlled by the Rim101 signal transduction pathway. In...
