Quantification of the β-1,3-glucan synthase (GS) activity of mutants resistant to Caspofungin. Cell extracts from early log-phase cultures in YEPD medium at 30 °C of the wild-type (BY4741) and the 25 CAS resistant mutant strains were obtained, and used for enzymatic assays as described in Methods. It is shown the GS activity of the six mutants related to sphingolipid biosynthesis. Bars represent the percentage of GS specific activity in each mutant compared to that of the wild-type strain (100 % of GS specific activity). Data are the mean of three independent experiments. Error bars represent SD. Statistical analysis was carried out with a two-tailed, unpaired, Student’s t-test to analyze differences between the indicated mutants and the wild-type strain: **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001
