Cell wall changes upon respiratory dysfunction in the C. albicans goa1Δ mutant. The cell wall structures of WT (left) and the null goa1Δ (right) are shown. Cell wall polysaccharides and their linkages are color coded. In addition, phosphate, inositol and phosphate ceramide are shown as a GPI-anchored cell wall glycoprotein. Below the cell membrane, mitochondria are depicted with fewer mitochondrial ETC CI in the goa1Δ. The reduction of β-1,2 mannan and β-1,6 glucan (unpublished) is shown in the mutant cell wall.
