The Cek MAPK pathway and Rim101 pathway might be involved in the hyphal formation defects of the mir1Δ/Δ mutant.

Caption

Cells grown on spider + glucose (100 mmol/L) agar medium for 3 days were harvested and used for mRNA extraction. To investigate the effect of antioxidants, spider + glucose (100 mmol/L) agar medium was added with 4 mmol/L NAC. Expression levels of the selected genes were assessed by RT-qPCR. (a) Relative mRNA levels of some hypha-related genes in Candida albicans wild-type, mir1Δ/Δ, and mir1Δ/MIR1 strains. (b) Effect of the antioxidant NAC on the mRNA levels of some hypha-related genes in the mir1Δ/Δ mutant.
