Deletion of GOA1 and NDH51 of C. albicans causes changes in its cell wall. (A) A cell suspension of WT (SC5314), goa1Δ (GOA31) and its gene-reconstituted strain (GOA32) were serially diluted and applied to YPD agar, or YPD agar supplemented with 25 μg/ml of calcoflour white (CFW), or 25 μg/ml of Congo red (CR). Images were taken 48 h after plating cells. The mutant strain was more sensitive than WT and GOA32 to each cell wall inhibitor. (B) Similarly, the ndh51Δ was also more sensitive to both CR and CFW than control strains (C) Flocculation of goa1Δ and control strains is compared in RPMI medium. The null mutant flocculated more than control strains. (D) Differences in cell surface hydrophobicity with cyclohexane or xylene among strains are represented.
