Three Related Enzymes in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Candida albicans</named-content> Achieve Arginine- and Agmatine-Dependent Metabolism That Is Essential for Growth and Fungal Virulence
ABSTRACT Amino acid metabolism is crucial for fungal growth and development. Ureohydrolases produce amines when acting on l-arginine, agmatine, and guanidinobutyrate (GB), and these enzymes generate ornithine (by arginase), putrescine (by agmatinase), or GABA (by 4-guanidinobutyrase or GBase). Candi...
