Many pathogenic fungi are thermally dimorphic, switching between yeast and filamentous forms when cultivated at lower (e.g., 25C) or higher (37C) temps, and these transitions play a central part in promoting pathogenesis (Kumamoto and Vinces, 2005; Sudbery, 2011; Gow et al., 2012). than opaque cells. Despite the difference in virulence, … Continue reading Many pathogenic fungi are thermally dimorphic, switching between yeast and filamentous forms when cultivated at lower (e
