abstract：:The virulence of Candida albicans in a mouse model of invasive candidiasis is dependent on the phospholipids phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Disruption of the PS synthase gene CHO1 (i.e., cho1Δ/Δ) eliminates PS and blocks the de novo pathway for PE biosynthesis. In addition, the cho1Δ/Δ muta...
