Farnesol as a Multifunctional Regulator of Fungal Biology: Mechanisms and Significance
Farnesol is a small isoprenoid metabolite that has emerged as a key regulator of fungal biology beyond its original identification as a quorum-sensing molecule in Candida albicans. This review examines farnesol across pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, emphasizing its roles in morphogenesis, biofilm development, stre...
