A conserved machinery underlies the synthesis of a chitosan layer in the <i>Candida</i> chlamydospore cell wall
2021-01-20
Abstract excerpt
The polysaccharide chitosan is found in the cell wall of specific cell types in a variety of fungal species where it contributes to stress resistance, or in pathogenic fungi, virulence. Under certain growth conditions, the pathogenic yeast Candida dubliniensis forms a cell type termed a chlamydosospore, which has an additional internal layer in its cell wall as compared to hyphal or yeast cell types. We report th...
