Perturbing glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis alters cell wall architecture and modulates fungal morphology

2026-06-09

Abstract excerpt

Filamentous fungi are widely used for industrial protein production but their tendency to form dense mycelial pellets limits nutrient transfer, oxygen uptake and fermentation efficiency. While cell wall components are known to influence fungal aggregation, the molecular mechanisms linking cell wall biosynthesis to macroscopic morphology remain poorly defined. Using Aspergillus oryzae as a model, we show that pert...
