Abstract excerpt
The transport of four amino acids (L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-lysine and L-alanine) was studied during pH-regulated dimorphism in Candida albicans and its stable, non-germinative variant. The permeases responsible for uptake responded differently to differentiation and the transport activities varied during the course of morphogenesis. An increase in uptake around the time of evagination was observed in all...
