Cell Wall Biology: Perspectives from Cell Wall Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2011
Polysaccharide-rich plant cell walls are important biomaterials that underpin plant growth, are major repositories for photosynthetically accumulated carbon, and, in addition, impact greatly on the human use of plants. Land plant cell walls contain in the region of a dozen major polysaccharide structures that are mostly encompassed by cellulose ...

Cell wall dynamics modulate acetic acid-induced apoptotic cell death of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2014
Acetic acid triggers apoptotic cell death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, similar to mammalian apoptosis. To uncover novel regulators of this process, we analyzed whether impairing MAPK signaling affected acetic acid-induced apoptosis and found the mating ...

Cell wall architecture and the role of wall teichoic acid in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus only synthesises peptidoglycan during cell division at the septum using a complex protein biosynthetic apparatus called the divisome.

Acceleration of Aril Cracking by Ethylene in Torreya grandis During Nut Maturation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Torreya grandis ‘Merrillii’ is a famous nut with great nutritional value and high medicinal value. Aril cracking is an important process for seed dispersal, which is also an indicator of seed maturation. However, the cracking mechanism of T. grandis aril

Plant cell walls [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2017
Plants are able to generate large leaf surfaces that act as two-dimensional solar panels with a minimum investment in building material, thanks to a hydrostatic skeleton. This requires high intracellular pressures (up to 1 MPa), which depend on the presence of strong cell walls.

Diversity and Composition of Culturable Microorganisms and Their Biodeterioration Potentials in the Sandstone of Beishiku Temple, China

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Microbial colonization on stone monuments leads to subsequent biodeterioration; determining the microbe diversity, compositions, and metabolic capacities is essential for understanding biodeterioration mechanisms and undertaking heritage management. Here,

Systematic Comparison of Cell Wall-Related Proteins of Different Yeasts

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Yeast cell walls have two major roles, to preserve physical integrity of the cell, and to ensure communication with surrounding molecules and cells. While the first function requires evolutionary conserved polysaccharide network synthesis, the second ...

The Cell Walls of Streptococci [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1965
SUMMARY: The cell-wall compositions of 197 strains of streptococci were determined by paper chromatography. The residues formed 26 patterns, but 117 strains had one or other of only 3 patterns. The results suggest possibilities for future investigations of some poorly defined taxa.
