Abstract
ABSTRACTEven though the cell wall has been recognized as a crucial protective organelle for fungi, essential for its virulence and a unique emblem of this kingdom, biosynthesis of this organelle remains poorly understood. Our knowledge was based mainly in the past on the chemical analysis of cell wall mutants and on the biochemical study of a few synthases and transglycosidases. Recent developments in biophysical equipment and methods, such as solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance or cryo-electron microscopy, have promoted a better appreciation of the spatiotemporal dynamics of cell wall biosynthesis. The new information will be presented here with the cell wall of the human opportunistic pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus.
