Abstract excerpt
The Candida albicans strain WO-1 cells switch spontaneously, frequently, and reversibly between white and opaque colony-forming units which differ dramatically in their budding phenotypes. By screening a subtracted white cDNA library, the first white-specific cDNA, cWh11, was isolated and sequenced. This, in turn, was used to clone the Wh11 gene. Wh11 shows significant homology to the glucose/lipid-regulated GLP1...
