Candida albicans (DAY286 biofilm) extracellular vesicle and whole cell lysate proteomes

We performed proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and whole cell lysates (WCL) isolated from the same biofilm (strain = DAY286, n = 5). We identified proteins enriched in EVs versus WCL by comparing their LFQ intensities across all samples. After linking these results with EV enrichment data from other strains, we proposed a suite of putative EV marker proteins which were useful for multiple C. albicans strains and morphologies.
