C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab experiments than cells of the same species that had that gene. “When we got rid of the Sir2 gene, we saw ...

A new study shows when fast-growing fungal filaments (hyphae) pass through a narrow channel, vesicles bundle up and mislocalize away from the growing tip region, resulting a swollen tip that ...

In a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, UFZ researchers have been able to demonstrate that these so-called fungal hyphae also form a hot spot for gene transfer between bacteria.

C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab experiments than cells of the same species that had that gene. “When we got rid of the Sir2 gene, we saw ...

A protein called Sir2 may facilitate C. albicans' transition from ovoid yeast to thread-like hypha. C. albicans cells that were missing the Sir2 gene were less likely to form true hyphae in lab ...
