The Cell Wall Integrity Pathway Contributes to the Early Stages of Aspergillus fumigatus Asexual Development

Abstract excerpt

A remarkable feature of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is its ability to produce impressive amounts of infectious propagules known as conidia. These particles reach immunocompromised patients and may initiate a life-threatening mycosis. The conidiation process in Aspergillus is governed by a sequence of proteins that coordinate the development of conidiophores. This process requires the remodeling of...
