Investigating the role of chitin deacetylation in Magnaporthe oryzae

Abstract:

The fungal cell wall is a highly complex and dynamic structure. It plays a critical role in maintaining cellular integrity, as well as forming the interfacial barrier with the environment. It comprises a matrix of interconnected polysaccharides and proteins, which can change in response to altered environmental conditions, during interactions with other organisms, or during cellular growth and morphogenesis. One such observed change is the deacetylation of chitin to chitosan, a reaction ca...
