Functional networks of co-expressed genes to explore iron homeostasis processes in the pathogenic yeast .

is a cause of life-threatening invasive infections especially in elderly and immunocompromised patients. Part of human digestive and urogenital microbiota, faces varying iron availability, low during infection or high in digestive and urogenital tracts. To maintain its homeostasis, must get enough iron for essential cellular processes and resist toxic iron excess.

Life-history strategies and carbon metabolism gene dosage in the Nakaseomyces yeasts.

The Nakaseomyces clade consists of a group of six hemiascomyceteous yeasts (Candida glabrata, Nakaseomyces delphensis, C. nivarensis, C. bracarensis, C.

Efficient Mating-Type Switching in Candida glabrata Induces Cell Death.

Candida glabrata is an apparently asexual haploid yeast that is phylogenetically closer to Saccharomyces cerevisiae than to Candida albicans. Its genome contains three MAT-like cassettes, MAT, which encodes either MATa or MATalpha information in different strains, and the additional loci, HML and HMR. The genome also contains an HO gene homolog, but this yeast has never been shown to switch mating-types spontaneously, as S.
