Sentence examples for cell wall robustness from inspiring English sources
Previously, it has been shown that an increase of β-1,6-glucan levels was associated with a reduced sensitivity of yeast cells to Zymolyase, suggesting that the degree of β-1,6-glucosidic cross-linking between β-1,3-glucan, mannoprotein and chitin may contribute to cell wall robustness (Aguilar-Uscanga and Francois 2003).
This partial redundancy adds robustness to cell wall biosynthesis.
It could be argued that the resistance observed here is a part of a general defence response to cell wall degradation, intended to increase the robustness of the plasma membrane in anticipation of a fungal or bacterial attack reaching through the cell wall.
The N-glycosylation of cell wall and secreted proteins plays major roles in maintaining the physiological robustness of C. albicans cells and their interactions with host cells during disease progression (Bates et al., 2006, 2005; Mora-Montes et al., 2010, 2007; Munro et al., 2005; Phan et al., 2007; Sundstrom et al., 2002).
Similarly, the impact of growth on alternative carbon sources on the C. albicans cell wall remains largely unexplored, although the cell wall is a key effector of cell morphology and robustness, the major point of contact with the host, an active modulator of host immune defences and a prime target for antifungal drugs.
c, Chloroplast; cw, cell wall.
cut cuticle, cw cell wall.
These include non-uniform cell wall thicknesses, missing cell walls, misaligned cell walls and fillets at the cell wall junctions.
c Root. d Leaf cell wall [50].
