Yeast-enhanced green fluorescent protein (yEGFP): a reporter of gene expression in Candida albicans.

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) of Aequorea victoria has been developed here as a reporter for gene expression and protein localization in Candida albicans. When wild-type (wt) GFP was expressed in C. albicans, it was not possible to detect fluorescence or a translation product for the wt protein.
