Question

What is the cell wall composition of pythium yeast and bacteria?

Answer 1

The cell wall composition of pythium yeast and bacteria:

1. At the start of yeast development, the cell wall is thin and pliable, but as the bacterial age grows, the cell wall thickens and becomes stiffer.
2. The outside layer is mannan oligosaccharide, the inner layer is glucan, and the intermediate layer is a layer of protein in the yeast cell wall.
3. Pythium has cellulose in its hyphal wall. The cell wall of yeasts is fine, consisting of chitin mixed with other substances (mannan, glucan, and carbohydrates). -glucan or/and chitin are commonly found in the fibrous parts of yeast cell walls.
4. On the external surfaces of the wall, N-glycosylated proteins create cross-linking, amorphous matrix, and fibres.
5. N-acetyl muramic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine are found in the cell walls of bacteria.
