The white cell response to pheromone is a general characteristic of Candida albicans strains.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Feb 2009

Sahni Nidhi, Yi Song, Pujol Claude, Soll David R

Abstract excerpt

For Candida albicans, evidence has suggested that the mating pheromones activate not only the mating response in mating-competent opaque cells but also a unique response in mating-incompetent white cells that includes increased cohesion and adhesion, enhanced biofilm formation, and expression of select mating-related and white cell-specific genes. On the basis of a recent microarray analysis comparing changes in...
