Gene expression in human fungal pathogen Coccidioides immitis changes as arthroconidia differentiate into spherules and mature
28 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Coccidioides immitis is a dimorphic fungus that causes disease in mammals, including human beings. It grows as a mycelium containing arthroconidia in the soil and in the host arthroconidia differentiates into a unique structure called a spherule. We used a custom open reading frame oligonucleotide microarray to compare the transcriptome of C. immitis mycelia with early (day 2) and late stage (day 8)...
