Retraction Note to: Curr Genet (2016) 62:343–346 DOI 10.1007/s00294-015-0553-3
The authors and the journal hereby retract this article “The exocyst in Candida albicans polarized secretion and filamentation” published in Volume 62, Issue 2, pages 343–346, DOI 10.1007/s00294-015-0553-3. The authors have stated that the manuscript contains fictitious data. Two articles also published by the authors (Chavez-Dozal et al. 2015a, b), which mainly formed the basis for this review article, have meanwhile been retracted, because they contained several images with fabricated or falsified data.

Retraction Note Chavez-Dozal 2015: http://ec.asm.org/content/14/12/ii.long
Since this violates Current Genetics’ ethical standards, it has been decided to retract this article.
AA Chavez-Dozal did not respond when asked to agree to the retraction.
