Investigation of the value of β-glucan-specific fluorochromes for predicting the β-glucan content of the cell walls of zoopathogenic fungi

We have used the fluorescent dyes aniline blue and calcofluor white to stain the cell walls of a variety of pathogenic fungi, and compared our observations with the sensitivity of these species to inhibitors of polysaccharide biosynthesis. Calcofluor white, which interacts with 1,4-β-glucans such as...
