This study shows that disrupting GPI-anchor biosynthesis in fungi changes cell wall composition and morphology, leading to dispersed growth and altered adhesion.

This study shows how the cell wall of Rhizopus delemar reprograms during germination, enhancing immune recognition, and identifies key polysaccharide changes involved.

This study uses solid-state NMR to show how NaCl and MgCl2 induce distinct polysaccharide remodeling in the cell wall of Aspergillus atacamensis under hypersaline conditions.

This study shows that suppressing asexual development in Aspergillus nidulans improves the mechanical strength of mycelial materials, with some mutants also showing increased elasticity due to autolysis.

This study uses solid-state NMR to reveal five structural forms of α-glucans in Cryptococcus cell walls, showing their role in scaffolding and interacting with chitin, capsule, and melanin.

This study shows that deleting the MpkA kinase in Aspergillus nidulans alters mycelial material mechanical properties, including increased tensile strength and resistance to fragmentation.

This study compares cell wall structure in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus using solid-state NMR, revealing similarities and differences in polysaccharide composition and organization.
