Abstract excerpt

The phospholipid composition of various morphological mutants of Candida albicans revealed a complete absence of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from plasma membranes of those cells which completely lacked mycelial growth. No other phospholipid was found to be specific to morphogenesis. The plasma memb...
