Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans and related species switch frequently and reversibly between a number of general phenotypes usually discriminated by colony morphology and in some cases by cellular morphology. Switching has been demonstrated to affect a number of physiologic and architectural characteristics of single cells including most of the putative virulence factors of C.albicans. In the past few years, we have cloned...
