Breaking down barriers: comprehensive functional analysis of the Aspergillus niger chitin synthase repertoire

Abstract Background Members of the fungal kingdom are heterotrophic eukaryotes encased in a chitin containing cell wall. This polymer is vital for cell wall stiffness and, ultimately, cell shape. Most fungal genomes contain numerous putative chitin synthase encoding genes. However, systematic functi...
