Lack of chitin synthase genes impacts capsular architecture and cellular physiology in Cryptococcus neoformans
Cryptococcus neoformans mutants lacking each of the eight putative chitin synthase genes (CHS) have been previously generated. However, it is still unclear how deletion of chitin synthase genes affects the cryptococcal capsule. Since the connections between chitin metabolism and capsular polysacchar...
