Abstract Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) is performed on single spores
(conidia) of the fungus Aspergillus nidulans in order to establish a baseline measurement for …

Cell wall studies of pathogenic fungi are important for a variety of reasons. First, the wall is
the contact point for attachment and subsequent invasion and contains specific adhesin …

Aspergillus alliaceus produces an α-linked extracellular polysaccharide containing d-
galactosamine (70%), d-galactose (10.5%), d-glucose (10.5%) and acetate ion (2.6%). From …

Color mutants of Cochliobolus miyabeanus defective in melanin biosynthesis were isolated.
Although the wild-type strain KU-13 formed dark green colonies, color mutants formed white …

A temperature-sensitive mutant strain of Aspergillus nidulans has been isolated which failed
to grow normally on minimal agar medium at 43° C unless mannose was supplied as a sole …

Galactomannans (GM) are widely distributed polysaccharides amongst plant and
microorganisms. In plants, mainly legumes, they are reserve polysaccharides composed of …

Sugars from cell walls of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus nidulans were analyzed by
gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. The walls of both fungi contain similar levels of …

The single copy mnpA gene that encodes a mannoprotein of Aspergillus nidulans and its
cDNA were isolated from the genomic and cDNA libraries, respectively. The determined …

Micropropagation techniques allow the mass production of banana plants but can cause
somaclonal variations such as dwarfism. Changes in the metabolite profile during …

Chemical analysis indicated that D-glucose is tha major neutral monosaccharide present in
the microcysts of a range of gram-negative bacteria. Varying amounts of other neutral sugars …
