A genomic fragment including the Bom065 locus.
Df(2R)BomΔ55C individuals show lower survival to Candida glabrata infection and, in agreement, their hemolymph lacks the fungicidal activity observed in controls. Both these defects are suppressed by BomS5+tLa, although the fungicidal activity is only re-established at 4[o]C for 24h, not at room temperature for 1h.
