Project description:To identify genes in that are misregulated in the grf10Δ mutant of Candida albicans in response to growth in high copper, we compared expression patterns of the grf10-null mutant relative to the isogenic WT in YPD medium supplemented with and without 12 mM CuSO4.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans after 3 h phagocytosis by vehicle DMSO-treated macrophages (intact, expanding phagosomes) or calcium chelator BAPTA-AM-treated macrophages (inhibits lysosomal repair of expanding phagosomes, leading to phagosome rupture) to determine the effect of preventing phagosome expansion on C. albicans gene expression after phagocytosis by macrophages. Cultivation of Candida only for 3 h in DMEM-FBS cell culture medium or YPD complex medium as non-phagocytosis control conditions.
Project description:RNA sequencing was performed on Candida albicans wild type cells (JC50) grown to exponential phase on YPD , YPD plus Nitrosative Stress 2.5mM DPTA NONOate, and compared to exponential Candida albicans hog1 deletion mutant cells grown on on YPD , YPD plus Nitrosative Stress 2.5mM DPTA NONOate. Three independent experiments were performed.
Project description:Mms21 deleteion in Candida albicans resulted in invasveness and filamentatation in YPD media at 30 degrees Celsius. Wild type SN148 do not make any Filaments in YPD at 30 degrees Celsius. The aim was to look for transcription profiling mms21 dleleted mutant against wild type to find genes up and down regulated in the mutant especially thoseones critical for filamentation.

Project description:The fungal pathogen Candida albicans produces dark-pigmented melanin when grown in a basal medium containing 1 mM l-DOPA as melanin substrate. In the widely used C. albicans strain SC5314, melanin appeared after 3-4 days of incubation in l-DOPA medium. The experiment was designed to reveal cadidate genes associated with melanin biosynthesis by expression profiling at different times of growth with and without L-DOPA added to the medium. Expression profiling of C. albicans revealed very few genes significantly up- or down-regulated by growth in l-DOPA.
Project description:Given the tendency to substitute cellular vaccines with acellular ones, and the complete lack of virulence shown by the C. albicans cell wall mutant ecm33∆, we performed the characterization of its EVs and test their possible use as vaccine for invasive candidiasis. Label free proteomics was carried out comparing the protein cargo of extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from SC5314 and ecm33∆ mutant cells of Candida albicans after 16 hours of growth in YPD medium.
