Autolytic Enzymes in Fungal Cell Walls [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1966 SUMMARY: Autolytic glucanase and protease activity was detected in cell walls of some pythium species prepared by ultrasonic treatment. The glucanase activity was correlated with mycelial development. Maximal glucose release was detected in growing cultures during the linear growth period of the fungus.

Immunotherapy of invasive fungal infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients [PDF]
, 2013 Despite the availability of new antifungal compounds, invasive fungal infection remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Allogeneic HSCT recipients

Structure of Fungal Cell Wall Polysaccharides
Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2006 Candida albicans mannan consists of the alpha-1,6-linked backbone moiety and the alpha-1,2- and alpha-1,3-linked side chains. It also contains alpha-1,6-branched mannose units, beta-1,2-linked mannose units, and phosphate groups. The cell wall mannans of the genus Candida possess three types of beta-1,2 linked mannose units.

Fungal chitin induces trained immunity in human monocytes during cross-talk with Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2015 Objectives: Candida albicans, a common colonizer of the human mucosa, is able to train innate immune cells in a process mediated by the β-glucans present in the cell wall1.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Pathogens hide immunogenic epitopes from the host to evade immunity, persist and cause infection. The opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which can cause fatal disease in immunocompromised patient populations, offers a good example as ...
