Abstract

Farnesol, a quorum sensing (QS) signal, is produced by Candida albicans during high density growth and has been found to inhibit morphogenesis. This QS auto-inducing signal was discovered to increase amino acid incorporation by C. albicans when concentrations of farnesol increased to 10 µg/mL in yeast nitrogen broth. Farnesol concentrations greater than 10 µg/mL abolished the enhanced incorporation, and the magnitude of the increased incorporation was dependent on cell-surface hydrophobicity. Key words: Candida albicans , farnesol, amino acid incorporation.
