Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies were done with Candida albicans CBS 562. Various auxotrophs were isolated following mutagenesis with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. SAG5 (his4C), a stable histidine auxotroph defective in histidinol dehydrogenase activity, was characterized and chosen for further molecular studies. Therefore, the C. albicans HIS4 gene was isolated. The gene was obtained from a genomic library of the...
