Abstract
We used RNA fingerprinting of arbitrarily primed PCR to isolate genes upreg ulated during the yeast-hyphal transition in Candida albicans. The sequence and expression of one of these genes (CGR1, Candida growth regulation) are presented. Our results suggest that CGR1 expression is associated with a g rowth cessation of yeast cells, a prerequisite for germination in this orga nism. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
