Inhibition of Candida parapsilosis fatty acid synthase (Fas2) induces mitochondrial cell death in serum.
We have recently observed that a fatty acid auxotrophic mutant (fatty acid synthase, Fas2Δ/Δ) of the emerging human pathogenic yeast Candida parapsilosis dies after incubation in various media including serum. In the present study we describe the mechanism for cell death induced by serum and glucose...
