Abstract: Previously, we reported that GfsA is a novel galactofuranosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of O-glycan, the proper maintenance of fungal morphology, the formation of conidia and anti-fungal resistance in Aspergillus nidulans and A. fumigatus (Komachi… read more here.

Abstract: Fungal-type galactomannan is a polysaccharide incorporated into the cell wall of filamentous fungi belonging to the subphylum Pezizomycotina. Biosynthetic enzymes of fungal-type galactomannan are potential targets for antifungal drugs and agrochemicals. ABSTRACT Fungal-type galactomannan, a… read more here.
