Large-Scale Biochemical Profiling of the Candida albicans Biofilm Matrix: New Compositional, Structural, and Functional Insights
10 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Among pathogenic fungi, Candida albicans is most frequently associated with biofilm formation, a lifestyle that is entirely different from the planktonic state. One of the distinguishing features of these biofilms is the presence of extracellular material, commonly referred to as the "biofilm matrix." The fungal biofilm matrix embeds sessile cells within these communities and plays important structural and...
