Spatial structure of yeast biofilms and the role of cell adhesion across different media

Abstract excerpt

The ability of yeast cells to adhere to solid surfaces or even penetrate semi-solid surfaces and form multicellular biofilms are critical factors in infection. This study examines the relationship between cell adhesion capability and the ability to create spatially organized biofilms in selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, including clinical isolates, and five Candida species ( C. albicans , C. glabrata ,...
