Cell wall dynamics in yeast

G J Smits et al. Curr Opin Microbiol. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the first fungus for which the structure of the cell wall is known at the molecular level. It is a dynamic and highly regulated structure. This is vividly illustrated when the cell wall is damaged and a salvage pathway becomes active, resulting in compensatory changes in the wall.
