| Abstract: | The content of glucosamine in the walls of daughter (without bud scars) and mother (multiscar) cells ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae was examined in a control and after treatment with dilute alkali, acid and buffer. The occurrence of chitin in the bud and birth scars is discussed. The results of IR and X-ray analysis of cell-wall fractions indicate the presence of α-chitin which is a part of the chitin-glucan complex. The size of the crystallite of α-chitin in this complex is about 60 Å. |
