The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Candida Genome Database (CGD): incorporation of Assembly 22, systematic identifiers and visualization of high throughput sequencing data (2016, background): “albicans are separated by 140–850 million years of evolution (20).”
Engineered Control of Cell Morphology In Vivo Reveals Distinct Roles for Yeast and Filamentous Forms of Candida albicans during Infection (2003, background): “Although some of the details remain to be elucidated, a much clearer picture of the pathways and mechanisms involved in these morphogenetic changes has begun to emerge over the last few years (1, 6, 7, 10, 21).”
Candida albicans pathogenicity mechanisms (2013, background): “The hyphal form has been shown to be more invasive than the yeast form.(16) On the other hand the smaller yeast form is believed to represent the form primarily involved in dissemination.”
Dectin‐1 mediates macrophage recognition of Candida albicans yeast but not filaments (2005, background): “In this form, cells elongate and daughter cells do not separate from parents (Madhani and Fink, 1998; Berman and Sudbery, 2002).”
