Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common cause of invasive mold disease in humans. The
mechanisms underlying the adherence of this mold to host cells and macromolecules have …

Of the over 250 Aspergillus species, Aspergillus fumigatus accounts for up to 80% of
invasive human infections. A. fumigatus produces galactosaminogalactan (GAG), an …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a pathogenic mold which causes invasive, often fatal, pulmonary
disease in immunocompromised individuals. Recently, proteins involved in the biosynthesis of …

In medically important fungi, regulatory elements that control development and asexual
reproduction often govern the expression of virulence traits. We therefore cloned the Aspergillus …

Conidiation (asexual sporulation) is a key developmental process in filamentous fungi. We
examined the gene regulatory roles of the Aspergillus fumigatus developmental transcription …

The cell wall of Aspergillus fumigatus contains two galactose-containing polysaccharides,
galactomannan and galactosaminogalactan, whose biosynthetic pathways are not well …

Galactosaminogalactan and Pel are cationic heteropolysaccharides produced by the opportunistic
pathogens Aspergillus fumigatus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively. These …

The mold Aspergillus fumigatus causes invasive infection in immunocompromised patients.
Recently, galactosaminogalactan (GAG), an exopolysaccharide composed of galactose and …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most virulent species within the Aspergillus genus and causes
invasive infections with high mortality rates. The exopolysaccharide galactosaminogalactan (…

Invasive aspergillosis is characterized by hyphal invasion of the blood vessels, which
contributes to the pathogenesis of this disease. During this angioinvasion, Aspergillus fumigatus …
