Candida albicans Switches Mates [PDF]

Molecular Cell, 2002
The "asexual" human fungal pathogen Candida albicans has recently been engineered to be able to mate. A paper in the August 9, 2002 issue of Cell shows that mating competence is increased dramatically when mating partners are in a rare switch variant cell type that does not normally occur at body temperature.

Bioethanol production from fruit waste using a microbial co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 and Candida albicans GP1

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the sustainable valorization of fruit waste (FW) for bioethanol production using a consolidated bioprocess (CBP) that combines fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis in a single step. A co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 (a multienzyme producer) and Candida albicans GP1 (a fermentative yeast) was employed to maximize ...

Innate immunity to Candida albicans

Japanese Dental Science Review, 2015
SummaryCandida albicans is not a pathogen in healthy individuals, but can cause severe systemic candidiasis in immunocompromised patients. C. albicans has various virulence factors and activates the innate immune system. Specifically, C. albicans induces proinflammatory cytokine production in various cell types via many receptors, such as Toll-like ...
