Abstract excerpt
Several biological features of Candida albicans genes (PGA10, RBT5 and CSA1) coding for putative polypeptide species belonging to a subset of fungal proteins containing an eight-cysteine domain referred as common in several fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) are described. The deletion of these genes resulted in a cascade of pleiotropic effects. Thus, mutant strains exhibited higher cell surface hydrophobicity...
