Discovery of a phenotypic switch regulating sexual mating in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida tropicalis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 27 Dec 2011

Porman Allison M, Alby Kevin, Hirakawa Matthew P, Bennett Richard J

Abstract excerpt

Sexual reproduction can promote genetic diversity in eukaryotes, and yet many pathogenic fungi have been labeled as obligate asexual species. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that cryptic sexual programs may exist in some species, and that efficient mating requires the necessary develo...
