C. albicans AHR1 is important for growth on amino acids and for in vitro pH neutralization. C. albicans strains were grown in YNB plus 1% CAA, pH 4.0. (A) The growth of the cells was assessed by measuring the OD₆₀₀ at the indicated time points. (B) The pH of the growing cultures was measured. The experiment was performed in triplicate. (C) Ammonia release from strains grown on YAC medium, pH 4.0, was assessed as described in Materials and Methods.
