2-dodecanol (decyl methyl carbinol) inhibits hyphal formation and SIR2 expression in C. albicans

Candida albicans is capable of undergoing yeast-hypha transition to attain pathogenicity in humans. In this study, we investigated the differential expression of CaSIR2 via quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), during yeast-hypha transition with and without the presence of 2-dodecanol. SIR2 transcript...
