  • Title: [Role of cell wall components in yeasts of the genus Candida in the morphology of the cell].
    Author: Belov AP, Kamenev AS.
    Journal: Mikrobiologiia; 1986; 55(3):473-6. PubMed ID: 3528773.
    Abstract:
    The object of this work was to study the function of the mannan and glucan layers in the cell wall of Candida yeasts. When the outer mannan layer was removed with proteinases, the cells became round and their volume increased by a factor of 2.2. The contribution of the above layers into the elastic properties of the cell wall was estimated in qualitative terms. Apparently, mannans play a more important role in cell morphogenesis than it was supposed earlier.
