Differences in the acid-labile component of Candida albicans mannan from hydrophobic and hydrophilic yeast cells.
Glycobiology - 1 Nov 1999
Masuoka J, Hazen K C
Abstract excerpt
Cell surface hydrophobicity of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans has been linked to the level of cell wall protein glycosylation. Previous work demonstrated that outer chain mannosylation, rather than overall glycosylation, correlated with cell surface hydrophobicity. These studies further suggested that the phosphodiester-linked, acid-labile beta-1,2-mannan was the correlating element. The...
