Bending stiffness of Candida albicans hyphae reflects adaptive behavior of the fungal cell wall

2022-03-22

Abstract excerpt

The cell wall is a key component of fungi. It constitutes a stiff shell which counteracts internal cell turgor pressure. Its mechanical properties thus contribute to define cell mor- phology. Measurements of the elastic moduli of the fungal cell wall have been carried out in many species including Candida albicans, a major human opportunistic pathogen. They mainly relied on atomic force microscopy, and mostly cons...
