How does temperature trigger biofilm adhesion and growth in Candida albicans and two non‐Candida albicans Candida species?

Abstract: Background: Biofilm formation on biotic and abiotic surfaces is finely regulated by genetic factors but also by oxygen concentration, pH, temperature and other environmental factors, already extensively explored for bacterial biofilms. Much less is known about fungal biofilm, that is considered a virulence factor for Candida pathogenic species among the few fungal species able to grow and survive at high temperatures such as 37°C as well as those induced by fever. The resistance to high temperatures coupled wi… Show more

“…SW4-6 can tolerate temperatures up to 40°C. This observation aligns with ndings from other studies on Candida (Nakase et al, 1988;Pierantoni et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2023). Furthermore, this strain exhibited a tolerance to high salt (12% NaCl) environments, which in consistent with the characteristics of other Candida species, including Candida etchellsii (Lu et al, 2022).…”

“…The importance of temperature on morphological changes in fungal species including Candida and Histoplasma is widely acknowledged ( Klein and Tebbets, 2007 , Nguyen and Sil, 2008 , Shapiro and Cowen, 2012 ). For example, growth at 37 °C induces filamentation and biofilm formation in C. albicans ( Pierantoni et al, 2021 , Sudbery, 2011 ). Environmental cues such as increased growth temperature induce a range of bespoke transcription factors and chaperones that govern morphological changes such as hyphal growth and biofilm development ( San-Blas et al, 2000 , Shapiro et al, 2009 , Sudbery et al, 2004 ).…”

“…Another alternative hypothesis of what could contribute to candidal adherence, is the presence of different levels in lean vs. obese plasma clots of mannose-containing candidal receptor(s), or alternatively, the mannose-binding adhesin differentially expressed on Candida, dependent on yeast growth temperature [64,65]. The role of mannose in Candida adherence to fibrin matrices is supported by its ability to competitively inhibit the binding of pre-treated yeast to both lean and obese plasma clots.…”
