We found that p27 was present in all isolates, mainly in the yeast form.
The Candida species represented all of the speciated yeasts except one, which was an unidentified yeast form.
The cell wall of the yeast form of the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is enriched with α1,3-glucans.
Moreover, it has been reported that during the exponential growth phase, when mycelial form dominated over yeast form, high respiration activity may be observed (Makri et al. 2010).
This pattern was corroborated by RT-qPCR results, with higher expression levels found in the yeast form for most of the isolates.
with the yeast form of Pb.
As demonstrated above, DC phagocytose the yeast form of Pb and migrate to the lymph nodes.
Recently, we showed that lung DC can phagocytose the yeast form of Pb in vivo.
Candida albicans, S. cerevisiae and H. capsulata can switch between a hyphal and a yeast form.
With this method, 98% of the Candida remained in the yeast form and lacked germ tubes.
