An extracellular matrix composed of a layered meshwork of β-glucans, chitin, and
mannoproteins encapsulates cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organelle …

Infections with bacterial or fungal biofilms have emerged as a major public heath concern
because biofilm-growing cells are highly resistant to both antibiotics and host immune …

Caffeine is a natural purine analogue that elicits pleiotropic effects leading ultimately to cell's
death by a largely uncharacterized mechanism. Previous works have shown that this drug …

Candida albicans frequently infects medical devices by growing as a biofilm, ie, a
community of adherent organisms entrenched in an extracellular matrix. During biofilm …

Fungal pathogens use various mechanisms to survive exposure to drugs. Prolonged
treatment very often leads to the stepwise acquisition of resistance. The limited number of …

Large-scale screening of genetic and chemical-genetic interactions was used to examine
the assembly and regulation of β-1, 3-glucan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Using the set of …

In this study we analyze the participation of the PKC1-MAPK cell integrity pathway in cellular
responses to oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Evidence is presented …

High ethanol levels can severely inhibit the growth of yeast cells and fermentation
productivity. The ethanologenic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae activates several well …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion collection was screened for impaired growth on
glucose‐based complex medium containing 6% ethanol. Forty‐six mutants were found …

The yeast cell wall is a crucial extracellular organelle that protects the cell from lysis during
environmental stress and morphogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that the yapsin family of …
