Depending upon growth temperature, Candida albicans can exhibit two different morphologies, a budding yeast or a mycelium. By studying the distribution of concanavalin A-ferritin particles on the cell wall surface during bud and germ tube formation, we have elucidated the way cell wall extension occurs. Both processes initially require the localized lysis of the wall in order to allow the incorporation of the newly synthesized material. Later on, the cell wall behaves as an elastic structure, allowing extension by an intussusception process and, as a consequence, cell growth.
根据生长温度，白色念珠菌可呈现两种不同的形态，即出芽酵母或菌丝体。通过研究伴刀豆球蛋白A-铁蛋白颗粒在芽和芽管形成过程中在细胞壁表面的分布，我们阐明了细胞壁延伸的方式。这两个过程最初都需要细胞壁的局部裂解，以便纳入新合成的物质。随后，细胞壁表现为一种弹性结构，通过套入生长过程实现延伸，从而实现细胞生长。
