ABSTRACT The surface of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia, the first structure recognized by the host immune system, is covered by rodlets. We report that this outer cell wall layer contains two hydrophobins, RodAp and RodBp, which are found as highly insoluble complexes. The RODA gene was previously characterized, and ΔrodA conidia do not display a rodlet layer (N. Thau, M. Monod, B. Crestani, C. Rolland, G. Tronchin, J. P. Latgé, and S. Paris, Infect. Immun. 62:4380-4388, 1994). The RODB gene was cloned and disrupted. RodBp was highly homologous to RodAp and different from DewAp of A. nidulans. ΔrodB conidia had a rodlet layer similar to that of the wild-type conidia. Therefore, unlike RodAp, RodBp is not required for rodlet formation. The surface of ΔrodA conidia is granular; in contrast, an amorphous layer is present at the surface of the conidia of the ΔrodA ΔrodB double mutant. These data show that RodBp plays a role in the structure of the conidial cell wall. Moreover, rodletless mutants are more sensitive to killing by alveolar macrophages, suggesting that RodAp or the rodlet structure is involved in the resistance to host cells.

Based on cell wall texture of root hairs, two groups can be distinguished within the 10 species of Equisetum listed in Flora Europaea. This distinction coincides with the division of the genus Equisetum into two subgenera: Equisetum (horsetails) and Hippochaete (scouring rushes). All species of the subgenus Equisetum have a helicoidal cell wall texture in young growing root hairs as well as in full-grown hairs. All species of the subgenus Hippochaete deposit an additional inner cell wall layer against this helicoidal layer when elongation has stopped. The microfibrils in this additional layer do not form a helicoidal texture, but are helically arranged, forming a Z-helix. The presence of a helical layer in full-grown hairs is not a prerequisite for growth in soil, but an exclusively helicoidal root hair wall texture might be favourable for life in water. The wall texture is not influenced by the consistency of the substratum.
