Chitin Synthesis in Candida albicans: Comparison of Yeast and Hyphal Forms

Chitin synthesis was studied in both yeast and hyphae of the dimorphic fungus Candida albicans. Incorporation of N-acetyl-d-[1-(3)H]glucosamine ([(3)H]GluNAc) into an acid-alkali-insoluble fraction was 10 times greater in hyphal-phase cells.
