TL;DR: Fragments homologous to chitin synthase were amplified from the genomic DNA of 14 fungal species and deduced amino acid sequences fell into three distinct classes, which could represent separate functional groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of chitin synthase genes during yeast and hyphal growth phases of Candida albicans
TL;DR: Northern blot analysis shows that strikingly different levels of synthase 1 and 2 expression occur during yeast and hyphal phases of Candida growth.
Book ChapterDOI
The Multiple Chitin Synthase Genes of Candida Albicans and Other Pathogenic Fungi — A Review
TL;DR: The two chitin synthase genes from Candida albicans are isolated and sequenced and show strikingly different levels of transcription during the yeast and hyphal growth stages of the organism.
