Candida tropicalis biofilm formation and expression levels of the CTRG ALS ‐like genes in sessile cells

This study reveals that threeCTRG ALS ‐like genes ‐ except CTRG_03797 ‐ were more upregulated in biofilm cells, although with a considerable variation in expression across the strains studied and between the CTRG genes.C. tropicalis present a high biofilm capacity, and the overexpression of severalCTRG ALS ‐like genes in the sessile cells suggest a role by the course of the biofilm formation.
