Abstract excerpt

Naturally occurring strains of Candida albicans are opportunistic pathogens that lack a sexual cycle and that are usually diploids with eight pairs of chromosomes. C. albicans spontaneously gives rise to a high frequency of colonial morphology mutants with altered electrophoretic karyotypes, invo...
