A protein called Sir2 may facilitate C. albicans' transition from ovoid yeast to thread-like hypha. C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab ...

Turgor (hydrostatic pressure within the cell) is a major driving force for cell expansion in fungi and in other walled cells. It is created by the accumulation of solutes inside the cell. The ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- You might call Candida albicans a shape-shifter: As this fungus grows, it can multiply as single, oval-shaped cells called yeast or propagate in an elongated form called hypha, ...
