Yaf9 conditionally contributes to cell size control in Candida albicansOA
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen renowned for its ability to transition between distinct phenotypic states,such as the yeast-hyphae transition and the white-opaque switching.This morphological plasticity allows the organism to adapt to various host environments and evade immune responses.The white state is characterized by yeast-like cells with high proliferative capacity,whereas the opaque state features elongated cells with enhanced mating ability.
