Plasmodesmata in Fungal Cell Walls

Nature, 1966
WHEN we compared electron micrographs of developing zygospores of Rhizopus sexualis (Smith) Callen and Gilbertella persicaria (Eddy) Hesseltine, we found that we had both, independently, demonstrated the presence of fine transcellular strands in the newly formed septa which separate young gametangia from their suspensors.

Fungal cell wall chitinases and glucanases

Microbiology, 2004
The fungal cell wall is a complex structure composed of chitin, glucans and other polymers, and there is evidence of extensive cross-linking between these components. The wall structure is highly dynamic, changing constantly during cell division, growth and morphogenesis.

Fungal Cell Walls: A Survey

1981
The cell wall is commonly regarded as an assemblage of polymers, mainly polysaccharides, that occurs outside the plasma membrane of cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. Because of its rigidity it maintains the shape of the cell and offers resistance to unlimited influx of water into the cell.

Fungal Cell Wall Organization and Biosynthesis

2013
The composition and organization of the cell walls from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Neurospora crassa, and Cryptococcus neoformans are compared and contrasted. These cell walls contain chitin, chitosan, β-1,3-glucan, β-1,6-glucan, mixed β-1,3-/β-1,4-glucan, α-1,3-glucan, melanin, and ...

ANTIBIOTICS THAT INHIBIT FUNGAL CELL WALL DEVELOPMENT

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1994
The discovery of antifungal agents that possess selective toxicity against the eukaryotic fungal cell remains an important scientific challenge. The growing medical need for safe and effective antifungal agents stems from the rapidly increasing population of immunocompromised patients. Although the treatment of fungal infections is progressing steadily,

Hydrophobin Rodlets on the Fungal Cell Wall

2019
The conidia of airborne fungi are protected by a hydrophobic protein layer that coats the cell wall polysaccharides and renders the spores resistant to wetting and desiccation. A similar layer is presented on the outer surface of the aerial hyphae of some fungi.

Synthetic Oligosaccharides Mimicking Fungal Cell Wall Polysaccharides

2019
The cell wall of pathogenic fungi is highly important for the development of fungal infections and is the first cellular component to interact with the host immune system. The fungal cell wall is mainly built up of different polysaccharides representing ligands for pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on immune cells and antibodies.

Wall Structure, Wall Growth, and Fungal Cell Morphogenesis

1990
Because of its rigidity, the wall maintains the shape of the fungal hypha and various arguments have indicated chitin microfibrils embedded in an amorphous matrix as the major polymeric assemblage conferring rigidity to the wall (Bartnicki-Garcia 1973; Burnett 1979; Gooday and Trinci 1980; Wessels and Sietsma 1981).

Fungal Cell Walls — A Review

1990
As the outermost part of the cell envelope the wall provides the interface between the organism and its environment. The cell wall has therefore several roles.
