On the cell wall composition ofSaccharomycopsis guttulata

  • Published:
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Cells ofSaccharomycopsis guttulata were ruptured by sonic oscillation and the resulting cell walls were purified by washing and centrifugation. The walls contained 43.7% carbohydrate (expressed as glucose), 39.6% protein and a trace of chitin. Paper chromatography of hydrolyzed cell walls showed that glucose and an unknown reducing compound make up the bulk of the carbohydrate fraction. Mannose and glucosamine were present in small amounts. The cell wall composition ofS. guttulata appears to differ considerably from that ofS. cerevisiae.
