Example sentences for: albicans
How can you use “albicans” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
C. albicans and C. glabrata were identified by chlamydospore and germ tube tests; all other species were identified by carbohydrate assimilation tests (API-20C AUX).
[ 16 ] to test gene function in diploid C. albicans, we were unable to disrupt both copies of the CaCET1 gene, signifying that RNA triphosphatase is also essential in that species, a significant human pathogen.
Jatropha curcas latex is applied to external wounds in Perú and Indonesia [ 77 78 ] . The leaf bath is used for rash, bewitchment and poultices for sores in Trinidad [ 52 ] . Jatropha curcas leaf and bark contain glycosides, tannins, phytosterols, flavonoids and steroidal sapogenins [ 79 80 ] . The latex contains proteolytic enzymes and provides significant cicatrizant activity (wound healing) [ 78 ] . The sap inhibits growth of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus [ 81 ] .
For example, Cdc25 is not essential in C. albicans whereas its homolog is essential in S. cerevisiae [ 16 ] . Conversely, the enzyme DNA topoisomerase I is nonessential in S. cerevisiae and S. pombe, but essential for viability in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans [ 24 ] .
To address these issues, we have characterized the RNA triphosphatases of two other fungi, including the human pathogen Candida albicans and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [ 10 11 12 ] . The fungal triphosphatases, S. cerevisiae Cet1, C. albicans CaCet1 and S. pombe Pct1, belong to a new family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that embraces the triphosphatase components of DNA virus and protozoan mRNA capping systems [ 1 7 13 14 ] . The defining features of the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases are two glutamate-containing motifs that are required for catalysis and comprise the metal-binding site in the crystal structure of S. cerevisiae Cet1.
