CO(2) acts as a signalling molecule in populations of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

CO(2) acts as a signalling molecule in populations of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans.

When colonising host-niches or non-animated medical devices, individual cells of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans expand into significant biomasses. Here we show that within such biomasses, fungal metabolically generated CO(2) acts as a communication molecule promoting the switch from yeast to f...
