TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.

TL;DR: There are significant expansions of cell wall, secreted and transporter gene families in pathogenic species, suggesting adaptations associated with virulence in Candida albicans species.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cytokine production by human mononuclear cells or murine macrophages was markedly reduced when stimulated by C. albicans mutants defective in mannosylation and recognition of C.Albicans by monocytes/macrophages is mediated by 3 recognition systems of differing importance, each of which senses specific layers of the C. Albicans cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fungal Cell Wall : Structure, Biosynthesis, and Function
TL;DR: Recent advances in research investigating the composition, synthesis, and regulation of cell walls are discussed and how the cell wall is targeted by immune recognition systems and the design of antifungal diagnostics and therapeutics are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of chitin synthesis rescues Candida albicans from echinocandins.
Louise A. Walker,Carol A. Munro,Irene de Bruijn,Megan D. Lenardon,Alastair D. McKinnon,Neil A. R. Gow +5 more
TL;DR: Echinocandins and chitin synthase inhibitors synergized strongly, highlighting the potential for combination therapies with greatly enhanced cidal activity.
