Abstract

Carbon dioxide is not only an important gaseous molecule for maintenance of the biosphere homeostasis, but is also a crucial signalling cue in living cells. Fungal pathogens, including Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans, must adapt to dramatic changes in CO₂ levels during colonization and subsequent infection of their human host. Recent reports provide insight into how pathogenic fungi sense environmental CO₂ and the role of carbonic anhydrase and fungal adenylyl cyclase in CO₂ sensing.
