Effects of farnesol on the physical properties of DMPC membranes
, 2005 Farnesol interacts with membranes in a wide variety of biological contexts, yet our understanding of how it affects lipid bilayers is not yet complete.

Chemistry & biology, 2004 The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans produces extracellular farnesol (3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6,10-dodecatriene-1-ol) which acts as a quorum-sensing molecule (QSM) to suppress filamentation. Of four possible geometric isomers of farnesol, only the E,E isomer possesses QSM activity.

Farnesol, a Fungal Quorum-Sensing Molecule Triggers Apoptosis in Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cells
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008 Farnesol is a catabolite within the isoprenoid/cholesterol pathway that has exhibited significant antitumor activity. Farnesol was recently identified as a quorum-sensing molecule produced by the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

Farnesol-DMPC phase behaviour: a 2H-NMR study
, 2004 Involved in a number of diverse metabolic and functional contexts, farnesol is a central component of the mevalonate pathway, post-translationally attaches to proteins, and affects a number of other membrane-associated events.

EFFECT OF FARNESOL ON PENICILLIUM DECUMBENS’S MORPHOLOGY AND CELLULASE PRODUCTION [PDF]
, 2011 It is possible to improve cellulase production by controlling fungal morphology. Farnesol, the first quorum-sensing molecule found in eukaryotic organisms, is reported to influence the morphology of fungi.
