Drug-dependent growth curve reshaping reveals mechanisms of antifungal resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract excerpt

Microbial drug resistance is an emerging global challenge. Current drug resistance assays tend to be simplistic, ignoring complexities of resistance manifestations and mechanisms, such as multicellularity. Here, we characterize multicellular and molecular sources of drug resistance upon deleting the AMN1 gene responsible for clumping multicellularity in a budding yeast strain, causing it to become unicellular....
