Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans is a fungal component of the human gut microbiota and an opportunistic pathogen. C. albicans transcription factors (TFs), Wor1 and Efg1, are master regulators of an epigenetic switch required for fungal mating that also control colonization of the mammalian gut. We show that additional mating regulators, WOR2, WOR3, WOR4, AHR1, CZF1, and SSN6, also influence gut commensalism. Using Calling...
