“…The earliest molecular biological studies in C. albicans suggested that Candida genes were likely to resemble genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, since most C. albicans genes were cloned via the complementation of S. cerevisiae mutations [3,14,32,33,34,62,69]. Many C. albicans genes will express directly in Escherichia coli [14,23,34] and more recently the suspected similarity between C. albicans and S. cerevisiae genes has been confirmed by DNA sequence analysis.…”
