Candida glabrata displays pseudohyphal growth

Abstract

The ability to undergo morphological change has been reported as an advantageous trait in fungal pathogenesis. Here we demonstrate that Candida glabrata ATCC2001, like diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, forms elongated chains of pseudohyphal cells on solid nitrogen starvation media (SLAD). Constrictions were apparent between adjoining cells; no parallel-sided hyphae were seen and pseudohyphae invaded the agar. When SLAD was supplemented with ammonium sulfate both C. glabrata and diploid S. cerevisiae strains lost their ability to undergo pseudohyphal growth. However, on this media C. glabrata yeast cells invaded the agar in a similar fashion to the invasive growth mode exhibited by haploid strains of S. cerevisiae cultured on rich media such as YPD. C. glabrata was not capable of invading YPD demonstrating that the process of filamentation is distinct in these two fungi. To our knowledge this is the first report to demonstrate that C. glabrata can undergo morphological change and grow as an invasive filamentous organism.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • C. glabrata displayed pseudohyphal structures in response to nitrogen starvation and carbon dioxide exposure.

    “Importantly, morphological switching from the yeast to the hyphal form has not been reported [28], although C. glabrata displayed pseudohyphal structures in response to nitrogen starvation and carbon dioxide exposure [70,71].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
