The tips of these fungi grow by synthesizing new cell wall on the extending side ... the narrowest just 1 micrometer across—smaller than the diameter of typical hyphae. His team used live imaging ...

But instead of binding to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane as amphotericin B does, mandimycin binds to the phospholipids, creating holes in the membrane that lead to cell death. Martin Burke ...
