| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have screened strains by which greatly reduced a virulence to the Drosophila from the comprehensive gene knockout library of the Candida glabrata, on the collaboration with Tohoku University Kurata's laboratory. After foucused on the 10 strains from that, and pushing forward the infection experiments with the silkworm larva, We identified A and B gene defective strains respectively in which virulence particularly decreased. The protein which encoded by gene A was located on the cell membrane, and it was a factor necessary to maintain the cell membrane, and it was suggested to be a gene necessary to assimilate serum ingredient. We settle those results, and we are preparing publishing a papar. About the B gene, we are going to analyze a relation with the pathogenicity.
