Both Galactosaminogalactan and α-1,3-Glucan Contribute to Aggregation of Aspergillus oryzae Hyphae in Liquid Culture

Filamentous fungi generally form aggregated hyphal pellets in liquid culture. We previously reported that α-1,3-glucan-deficient mutants of Aspergillus nidulans did not form hyphal pellets and their hyphae were fully dispersed, and we suggested that α-1,3-glucan functions in hyphal aggregation. Howe...
