Published in 2020 at "Current topics in microbiology and immunology"

DOI: 10.1007/82_2019_193

Abstract: Filamentous fungi are covered by a cell wall consisting mainly of chitin and glucan. The synthesis of chitin, a β-1,4-linked homopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is essential for hyphal morphogenesis. Fungal chitin synthases are integral membrane proteins… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Biomolecules"

DOI: 10.3390/biom13050777

Abstract: Cnidarians are commonly recognized as sea jellies, corals, or complex colonies such as the Portuguese man-of-war. While some cnidarians possess rigid internal calcareous skeletons (e.g., corals), many are soft-bodied. Intriguingly, genes coding for the chitin-biosynthetic… read more here.
