Cell wall polymer levels measured^* in different C. albicans strains

Genotype	β-1,6-Glucan†	β-1,3-Glucan + β-1,6-Glucan†
Wild-type	235  ±  15	339  ±  17
Heterozygous cakre9Δ	169  ±  19	328  ±  17
Homozygous cakre9Δ‡	0§	377  ±  4
Homozygous cakre9Δ‡	0§	375  ±  21

^*Measured as micrograms of alkali-insoluble glucan per milligram dry weight cell wall, as described in Materials and Methods. 

^†Values depict mean ±1 SD (n = 3). 

^‡These constitute two independent homozygous disruptants. 

^§Values were found to be <1 μg.
