---|---|---|
physiological function | the Candida albicans genes encoding GlcNAc permease, GlcNAc kinase, GlcNAc-6-phosphate deacetylase, and glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase are expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to enable the use of GlcNAc as a carbon source. Chitin is the second abundant polysaccharide after cellulose and consists of N-acetylglucosamine moieties, which cannot be used by wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae | Candida albicans |
