The <i>ATO</i> gene family governs <i>Candida albicans</i> colonisation in the dysbiotic gastrointestinal tract
2025-05-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The fungal pathogen Candida albicans colonises the human gut where short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) offer sources of carbon. This fungus harbours one of the largest microbial families of ATO (Acetate Transport Ortholog) genes, which encode putative SCFA transport proteins. Here, we generate C. albicans null mutants lacking individual or all known putative SCFA transporter genes and compare the...
