Whole Genome sequence of Candida albicans isolated from the saliva of oral squamous cell carcinoma patient.

The major proportion of the C30 C. albicans genome codes of hypothetical protein, a large number of proteins possessed transporter along with binding and catalytic activity involved in cellular and metabolic processes followed by proteins involved in signal transduction. C30 C. albicans shares virulence traits found in C. albicans, SC5314. The presence of genes including ion transporters, amino acid and metabolite transporters, oligopeptide transporters, secreted proteinases, lipases, phospholipases, adhesins, secreted aspartyl proteases, mannosyl transferases, and STE (Serine/threonine enzyme)-related proteins in C30 C. albicans genome were observed when compared with in C. albicans, SC5314 as a reference genome. The above-mentioned gene classes may contribute to virulence properties in C30 C. albicans isolates.
