TL;DR: The complete genome sequence reveals extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and widespread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism.

TL;DR: The overall transcriptome analysis provided information about sequences related to the cell cycle, stress response, drug resistance, and signal transduction pathways of the pathogen.

TL;DR: The goal was to identify genes expressed in the mycelium and yeast forms by EST sequencing in order to generate a partial map of the fungus transcriptome and identify some genes potentially involved in the dimorphic transition and drug resistance.

TL;DR: A view of the metabolic cell profile, as determined by proteomics, depicted a shift in the yeast cells metabolism as suggested by the activation of the pentose phosphate pathway, a great source of cellular reducing power in the form of NADPH.

TL;DR: Comparing the two-dimensional gel protein profile of yeast cells during iron starvation to that of iron rich condition suggested a remodeling of P. brasiliensis metabolism by prioritizing iron independent pathways.
