A Candida Biofilm-Induced Pathway for Matrix Glucan Delivery: Implications for Drug Resistance
Extracellular polysaccharides are key constituents of the biofilm matrix of many microorganisms. One critical carbohydrate component of Candida albicans biofilms, β-1,3 glucan, has been linked to biofilm protection from antifungal agents. In this study, we identify three glucan modification enzymes...
