Abstract:
Depending on the acquisition of developmental competence, the expression of genes for beta-1,3-glucan synthase and chitin synthase was affected in different ways by Aspergillus nidulans LAMMER kinase. LAMMER kinase deletion, DeltalkhA, led to decrease in beta-1,3-glucan, but increase in chitin content. The DeltalkhA strain was also resistant to nikkomycin Z.
