Biofilm formation of <i>Candida</i> species is considered to be a pathogenic factor of host infection. Since biofilm formation of <i>Candida glabrata</i> has not been as well studied as that of <i>Candida albicans</i>, we performed genetic screening of <i>C. glabrata</i>, and three candidate genes associated with biofilm formation were identified. <i>Candida glabrata SYN8</i> (CAGL0H06325g) was selected as the most induced gene in biofilm cells for further research. Our results indicated that th ...[more]
