Adaptation to an amoeba host drives selection of virulence-associated traits and genetic variation in saprotrophic Candida albicans
Amoebae are micropredators that play an important role in controlling fungal populations in ecosystems. However, the interaction between fungi and their amoebic predators suggests that the pressure from predatory selection can significantly influence the development of fungal virulence and evolution...
