The Fungal Pathogen <named-content content-type="genus-species">Candida albicans</named-content> Autoinduces Hyphal Morphogenesis by Raising Extracellular pH

ABSTRACT pH homeostasis is critical for all organisms; in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans, pH adaptation is critical for virulence in distinct host niches. We demonstrate that beyond adaptation, C. albicans actively neutralizes the environment from either acidic or alkaline pHs. Under acidic co...
