The cell wall of human fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus protects the fungus against
threats from environment and interacts with the host immune system. α (1–3) glucan is the …

ABSTRACT α (1-3) glucan is a main component of the Aspergillus fumigatus cell wall. In
spite of its importance, synthesis of this amorphous polymer has not been investigated to …

α-(1, 3)-Glucan is a major component of the cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus, an
opportunistic human fungal pathogen. There are three genes (AGS1, AGS2 and AGS3) …

The first fungal glycosylphosphatidylinositol an‐chored β (1–3) glucanosyltranferase (Gel1p)
has been described in Aspergillus fumigatus and its encoding gene GEL1 identified …

ABSTRACT A triple α1, 3 glucan synthase mutant of Aspergillus fumigatus obtained by
successive deletions of the three α1, 3 glucan synthase genes (AGS1, AGS2, and AGS3) …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most virulent species within the Aspergillus genus and causes
invasive infections with high mortality rates. The exopolysaccharide galactosaminogalactan …

The cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus is composed of a branched β1, 3 glucan covalently
bound to chitin, β1, 3, β1, 4 glucans, and galactomannan, that is embedded in an …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an environmental mold that causes severe, often fatal invasive
infections in immunocompromised patients. The search for new antifungal drug targets is …

Aspergillus fumigatus causes serious and frequently fatal infections in immunocompromised
patients. To investigate the regulation of virulence of this fungus, we constructed and …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is responsible for a lethal disease called
invasive aspergillosis that affects immunocompromised patients. This disease, like other …
