A Candida albicans efg1 cph1 double mutant is nonfilamentous under standard laboratory conditions and avirulent in mice. However, this mutant produced filaments in the tongues of immunosuppressed gnotobiotic piglets and when embedded in agar, demonstrating that an Efg1p- and Cph1p-independent pathway for promotion of filamentous growth exists.
白色念珠菌efg1 cph1双突变体在标准实验室条件下不形成菌丝,且对小鼠无致病性。然而,该突变体在免疫抑制的无菌仔猪舌中以及嵌入琼脂时会产生菌丝,这表明存在一条不依赖Efg1p和Cph1p促进丝状生长的途径。
