Abstract

In the presence of calcofluor white, budding scars and dividing cross-walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibited fluorescence, indicating that the brightener was a specific marker of fungal chitin. In addition, incubation of cells in the presence of the brightener did not stop protein and wall-polymer formation, but abnormal deposition of chitin occurred. Chitin synthesis was normal in regenerating protoplasts of Candida albicans in the presence of calcofluor, but formation of the crystalline lattice was blocked. These results suggest that crystallization of nascent subunits may occur by a self-assembly mechanism that was blocked by the stain.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
