Fungal mating: Candida albicans flips a switch to get in the mood.

Christina M Hull1, Joseph Heitman.   

Abstract

The fungal pathogen Candida albicans can mate under highly controlled conditions. It can also undergo phenotypic switching. A recent discovery joins these disparate processes to reveal that 'opaque' switch variants mate 10(6) times better than 'white' variants.
