Effect Of Galactose And Fructose On The Expression Of Isocitrate Lyase (ICL1) Enzyme In Candida Albicans

The virulence of C. albicans is dependent upon fitness attributes as well as virulence factors. These attributes include robust stress responses and metabolic flexibility. C. albicans can occupy a variety niches in human, many of which contain a rannge of different carbon sources. The assimilation o...
