Transcriptional profiling of a yeast colony provides new insight into the heterogeneity of multicellular fungal communities.
Understanding multicellular fungal structures is important for designing better strategies against human fungal pathogens. For example, the ability to form multicellular biofilms is a key virulence property of the yeast Candida albicans. C. albicans biofilms form on indwelling medical devices and ar...
