The Chitin Connection [PDF]

mBio, 2012
ABSTRACTChitin, a polymer ofN-acetylglucosamine, is an essential component of the fungal cell wall. Chitosan, a deacetylated form of chitin, is also important in maintaining cell wall integrity and is essential forCryptococcus neoformansvirulence. In their article, Gilbert et al. [N. M. Gilbert, L.
