Antimicrobial peptides act as a host defense mechanism and regulate the commensal microbiome. To obtain a comprehensive view of genes contributing to long-term memory we performed mRNA sequencing from single Drosophila heads following behavioral training that produces long-lasting memory. Surprisingly

Human fungal pathogen Candida albicans cannot utilize L-sorbose as a sole carbon source. However, chromosome 5 monosomic strains can grow on sorbose as repressors present on this chromosome get diminished allowing the expression of sorbose utilization gene (SOU1) located on
