Role of distinct dimorphic transitions in territory colonizing and formation of yeast colony architecture.

Abstract excerpt

Microbial populations in nature often form organized multicellular structures (biofilms, colonies) occupying different surfaces including host tissues and medical devices. How yeast cells within such populations cooperate and how their dimorphic switch to filamentous growth is regulated are therefore important questions. Studying population development, we discovered that Saccharomyces cerevisiae microcolonies...
