Description

Application

Aculeacin A is used to study mutations that lead to antibiotic resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae , the inhibition of Candida albicans, and the morphogenetic transformation of Candida albicans when treated .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aculeacin A, an amphophilic antibiotic, inhibits the biosynthesis of β−glucan by selective blockage of β(1→3) glucan synthase.

Aculeacin A is a lipopeptide that inhibits β-glucan synthesis in yeasts. The inhibition is due to the selective blockage of glucan synthase.
