Considering the increase in <i>C. tropicalis</i> incidence and high rates of mortality associated with this species, knowledge of its adhesion and biofilm formation abilities is needed. These traits determine the persistence and survival of yeast on different indwelling medical devices and host sites. <i>C. tropicalis</i> is among the most adherent <i>Candida</i> species, and it has been described as a strong biofilm producer. Environmental factors, phenotypic switching and quorum sensing molecules can affect adhesion and biofilm growth. <i>C. tropicalis</i> can form sexual biofilms, which are promoted by mating pheromones. <i>C. tropicalis</i> biofilms are regulated by a wide and complex network of genes and signaling pathways that are currently poorly understood. Morphological studies showed improved biofilm architecture, which was related to the expression of several hypha-specific genes. Based on recent updates, research is still needed to increase our knowledge on the genetic network of adhesion and biofilm formation by <i>C. tropicalis</i>, as well as the protein diversity that mediates interactions with inert materials and biological surfaces.

In this study, ocean sediments were collected from Baffin Bay (Canadian Arctic) and the Gulf of Maine for untargeted metabolomics using mass spectrometry.

Based on spectral abundance, 12 specialized metabolites known to be associated with bacteria were selected for discussion.
