Abstract
Chitin is a linear polysaccharide composed of β (1→4)-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues. In fungi, chitin is an important component of the cell wall. Here, we provide a protocol to measure the chitin content of fungal cells using Magnaporthe oryzae as an example.
Keywords: Chitin (甲壳素)Background
Chitin is an important component of the cell wall in fungal pathogens and is well known as a pathogen associated molecule pattern (PAMP). Determining the chitin content of a fungal species is important for studying fungal biology and host-pathogen interactions. The Morgan-Elson method based on colorimetric approach has been adapted in yeast to measure cellular chitin levels (Leloir and Cardini, 1953; Bulik et al., 2003; Baker et al., 2007). However, there is no specific protocol established for Magnaporthe oryzae, which is the causal agent of rice blast, the most important fungal disease in the world. Here, we describe a reliable and simple protocol which was modified from the Morgan-Elson method to test the chitin content of M. oryzae (Song et al., 2010).
