Targeted changes of the cell wall proteome influence Candida albicans ability to form single- and multi-strain biofilms.

Biofilm formation is an important virulence trait of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. We have combined gene overexpression, strain barcoding and microarray profiling to screen a library of 531 C. albicans conditional overexpression strains (∼10% of the genome) for genes affecting biofilm devel...
