The MP65 gene of Candida albicans (orf19.1779) encodes a putative ?-glucanase mannoprotein of 65 kDa, which plays a main role in a host-fungus relationship, morphogenesis and pathogenicity. In this study, we performed an extensive analysis of a mp65? mutant to assess the role of this protein in cell wall integrity, adherence to epithelial cells and biofilm formation.
