Candida glabrata Metallothioneins [PDF]
Southern blot analysis has identified several metallothionein gene sequences in a human pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata. Two of these genes encoding proteins designated MT-I and MT-II have been cloned and sequenced. No introns were found in either of the genes. The complete primary structure of MT-II was also determined by protein sequencing methods.

Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi
The growing burden of drug‐resistant fungal infections, driven by pathogens such as Candida auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, underscores the urgent need for novel antifungal therapies. This review explores antimicrobial peptides as promising agents with membrane‐disruptive activity, immunomodulatory properties, and delivery ...

A series of 13 hybrid molecules of both lead structures were prepared using reductive amination as key reaction step. The antimycotic potency of the resulting compounds was evaluated against yeast and mold species. Two compounds showed remarkable potency against several yeasts, and even against Candida krusei.

Catalase Activity Assay in Candida glabrata [PDF]
Commensal and pathogenic fungi are exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by macrophages of the host. Pathogenic fungi counteract the harmful effects of H2O2 with the enzyme catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), which decomposes two molecules of H2O2 to two molecules of H2O and O2.
