Abstract excerpt
Strains of Aspergillus nidulans carrying the orlA1 or tse6 allele are deficient in cell wall chitin and undergo lysis at restrictive temperatures. The strains are remediable by osmotic stabilizers or by the presence of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in the medium. The remediation by GlcNAc suggests...
