Abstract
The fungal pathogen Candida albicans can mate under highly controlled conditions. It can also undergo phenotypic switching. A recent discovery joins these disparate processes to reveal that 'opaque' switch variants mate 10(6) times better than 'white' variants.
摘要
真菌病原体白色念珠菌能够在高度可控的条件下进行交配。它还能发生表型转换。最近的一项发现将这些不同的过程联系起来，揭示出“不透明”转换变体的交配能力比“白色”变体高出10^6倍。
