Cloning and Sequencing of a <i>Candida albicans</i> Catalase Gene and Effects of Disruption of This Gene
1 May 1998
Abstract excerpt
Catalase plays a key role as an antioxidant, protecting aerobic organisms from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide, and in some cases has been postulated to be a virulence factor. To help elucidate the function of catalase in Candida albicans, a single C. albicans-derived catalase gene, designated CAT1, was isolated and cloned. Degenerate PCR primers based on highly conserved areas of other fungal catalase...
