We investigated different escape and defense strategies of Candida parapsilosis against the natural fungivorous predator Protostelium aurantium using dual RNA-Seq. Trophozoites of the amoeba Protostelium aurantium were fed with C. parapsilosis and samples for RNA isolation were taken at time points 0 min (control), 30 min and 60 min. At indicated time points samples were shock frozen and used for RNA isolation. C. parapsilosis underwent rapid predation and intracellular killing of the yeast Overall design: Analysis of nine samples in total. Three time points (0min, 30min and 60min) with three replicates each. The three 0min samples are the control samples.
