摘要: The fungal cell wall is a major and essential structure, entirely lacking in animal cells, thus an attractive chemotherapeutic target. Its biosynthesis central to division morphogenesis. Like its bacterial counterpart, the determines shape, provides rigidity osmotic support, plays important role adherence pathogenicity (73, 86). It may, addition, constitute permeability barrier (113).
