Relationships Between Dimorphism, Cell Wall Structure, and Surface Activities in Candida albicans

  • Chapter
Candida Albicans

Abstract

Most cells are covered with a complex network of interacting molecules that form the extracellular matrix. These molecules (proteins and polysaccharides) are secreted locally and interact among themselves to form an organized structure outside the cell plasma membrane. In unicellular eukaryotic organisms and plant cells, this structure is reinforced to withstand osmotic changes in the external environment, giving rise to the so-called cell wall.
