Understanding Aspergillus fumigatus galactosaminogalactan biosynthesis: A few questions remain
Half a century after their discovery, polymers of N-acetylgalactosamine produced by the Aspergilli have garnered new interest as mediators of fungal virulence. Recent work has focused on the Aspergillus fumigatus secreted and cell wall-associated heteropolymer, galactosaminogalactan (GAG). This poly...
