Glucose depletion enables Candida albicans mating independently of the epigenetic white-opaque switch
Abstract The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans can switch stochastically and heritably between a “white” phase and an “opaque” phase. Opaque cells are the mating-competent form of the species, whereas white cells are thought to be essentially “sterile”. Here, we report that glucose depletion, a...
