Two-fold more proteins were identified in hyphae (928) than in yeast (438).
A higher number of GPI and cell wall proteins were detected on the hyphae surface.
A phenotypic study of 17 mutants in uncharacterized surface proteins was performed.
Ali1, Mci4 and 2 Orfs are relevant in stress resistance and dimorphic transition.
Pst3, Tos1 and 2 Orfs are related to cell wall and host–cell interaction.
