title: Role of LAMMER Kinase in Cell Wall Biogenesis during Vegetative Growth of Aspergillus nidulans.
abstract: Depending on the acquisition of developmental competence, the expression of genes for β-1,3-glucan synthase and chitin synthase was affected in different ways by Aspergillus nidulans LAMMER kinase. LAMMER kinase deletion, ΔlkhA, led to decrease in β-1,3-glucan, but increase in chitin content. The ΔlkhA strain was also resistant to nikkomycin Z.
