Example sentences for: albicans
How can you use “albicans” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This frequency of homozygosity at a nonessential locus is similar to that reported by Mitchell's group (2 out of 30) for homozygous disruption of the C. albicans CDC25 gene [ 16 ] . These results confirm that the single-transformation test can, in our hands, be used to identify a nonessential gene and they underscore the inference from the data presented here that RNA triphosphatase is essential for growth of C. albicans.
Candida albicans
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 ] .
We conducted in parallel an analysis of the function of the C. albicans CES1/ZDS1 gene, which encodes a protein homologous to the product of the S. cerevisiae CES1/ZDS1 gene isolated by us and others in various suppressor screens [ [ 23 ] and references therein].
Mitchell and colleagues [ 16 ] have developed a single-transformation method to test gene function in diploid C. albicans that entails the following steps, which we have applied to the CaCET1 gene encoding RNA triphosphatase [ 22 ] .
