MTL-independent phenotypic switching in Candida tropicalis and a dual role for Wor1 in regulating switching and filamentation.
Phenotypic switching allows for rapid transitions between alternative cell states and is important in pathogenic fungi for colonization and infection of different host niches. In Candida albicans, the white-opaque phenotypic switch plays a central role in regulating the program of sexual mating as w...
