Abstract excerpt
The GPI-anchored mannoprotein Ccw12p is a crucial structural component of the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Compared to wild-type, the mutant ccw12 Delta grows more slowly, is highly sensitive to Calcofluor white and contains 2.5 times more cell wall chitin. In this study, electron microscopy of ccw12 Delta cell walls revealed that, with respect to wild-type, the inner glucan layer is thicker with...
