Glory, A.,Oostende, C., Geitmann, A and Bachewich,C. (2017). Depletion of the mitotic kinase Cdc5p in Candida albicans results in the formation of elongated buds that switchto the hyphal fate over ...

Research on the gut microbiome has focused mainly on bacteria, but bacteriophages and fungi play critical roles as well, with significant influences on health and disease.

Candida albicans is a major human pathogen ... chains of elongated cells known as pseudohyphae and finally true hyphae consisting of long tubes with parallel sides. These different morphogenic forms ...
