Snapshots of fungal extracellular matrices

  • Fungal extracellular materials reinforce a constant interaction between their cell wall and the environment. A dynamic mixture of chitin, glucans, mannans, glycoproteins, glycolipids and pigments supports the success of all fungal life styles – from symbiotic to the free-living and pathogenic. Fungi are perfectly adapted to grow on surfaces and in porous environments, where they form medically and geochemically relevant biofilms. Fungal EPS are critical in adhesion to other fungi, other cells or substratum as well as in the following interaction with the host immune system or material they attack, degrade and deteriorate respectively. Characterisation of extracellular compounds and understanding of its function is necessary to limit damage caused by fungal activity. All necessary methodology from chemical characterization to complete genetic analyses has been developed for medically important fungi. Now it is time to apply this knowledge to the numerous, largely aerobic and very activeFungal extracellular materials reinforce a constant interaction between their cell wall and the environment.

Characterisation of extracellular compounds and understanding of its function is necessary to limit damage caused by fungal activity. All necessary methodology from chemical characterization to complete genetic analyses has been developed for medically important fungi. Now it is time to apply this knowledge to the numerous, largely aerobic and very active organisms that occupy a wide range of atmosphere-exposed habitats in the upper lithosphere. One can expect that analogies between medically- and environmentally-relevant model fungal species will help us to address the dynamics of the fungal cell EPS matrix in much more efficient and widely applicable ways.zeige mehrzeige weniger
