Abstract excerpt
The ability of the saprophytic fungus Schizosaccharomyces japonicus to alternate between unicellular yeast form and multicellular true mycelium makes this organism an attractive non-pathogenic model for the investigation of di- and polymorphism critical for pathogenicity in many pathogenic fungi. In a previous work we described three mutations that made the cells unable to form hyphae. Here we report on the...
