Sugar Phosphorylation Controls Carbon Source Utilization and Virulence of Candida albicans

Sugar Phosphorylation Controls Carbon Source Utilization and Virulence of Candida albicans

Candida albicans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that relies upon different virulence traits, including morphogenesis, invasion, biofilm formation, and nutrient acquisition from host sources as well as metabolic adaptations during host invasion. In this study, we show how sugar kinases at...
