An Ssd1 Homolog Impacts Trehalose and Chitin Biosynthesis and Contributes to Virulence in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Aspergillus fumigatus</named-content>

ABSTRACT Regulation of fungal cell wall biosynthesis is critical to maintain cell wall integrity in dynamic fungal infection microenvironments. Genes involved in this response that impact fungal fitness and host immune responses remain to be fully defined. In this study, we observed that a yeast ssd...
