S. cerevisiae has
two silent mating

C. glabrata has

Glycosidase-I AND
Glycosidase-II is
required for growth
of C. albicans cells.
Glycosidase-I or
Glycosidase-II play
important role in
mobility of β-Nacetylhexosaminidas
e to initiate outer-Nchain elongation in
cell wall
organization.
C. albicans has one
MAT locus and a
mating-type
pleiotropic switching
event is required for
mating to occur.
Pheromone causes
smoothing, the initial
step in the mating
process, only in a/a
cells expressing the
opaque phenotype.

Illegitimate

Supplementary Table 4: A comparison of dynamic and adaptive responses of different organisms with S.
cerevisiae. We find that organisms that are more distant to S. cerevisiae in Figures 2-5 (Supplementary Figures 1 4) with respect to some biological process also have phenotypic behavior that is more different from the yeast
than those that are predicted to be closer with respect to that process, whose references have been found in the
literature, as per given in square brackets.
