Candida albicans mutants for phosphatidylserine (PS) synthase (cho1ΔΔ) and PS decarboxylase (psd1ΔΔ psd2ΔΔ) are compromised for virulence in mouse models of systemic infection and oropharyngeal Candidiasis (OPC). Both of these enzymes are necessary to synthesize phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by the
