Abstract excerpt
In order to clarify the relationship between polyploidization and the capability of phenotypic switching in the imperfect yeast Candida albicans, two types of variants were isolated as segregants from a fusant, which produced a proportion of the cell population with a higher ploidy than the rest, either in a temperature-dependent or -independent manner, when incubated at low (28 degrees C) and high (37 degrees C)...
