Fig. 6. eed1Δ/Δ yeast have a growth advantage on physiologically relevant carbon sources and kidney homogenates and furthermore show enhanced proteolytic activity.

Growth curves of C. albicans in YPD with 2 or 0.1% glucose or SD medium with different concentrations of sugars or alternative carbon sources as indicated in the graphs. YCB-BSA contained 0.5% of BSA as sole nitrogen source, pH was adjusted to 4.0. For kidney homogenates, kidneys of uninfected mice were removed aseptically, homogenized and diluted to 25 mg/ml in DPBS. Growth was recorded by measuring the optical density at 600 nm in a microplate reader at 37 °C. Measurements were performed in 30 min intervals over a course of 60 h. Graphs show the mean ± SD of three to five independent biological replicates. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
