title: The mycelial cell wall of Penicillium charlesii G. Smith NRRL 1887.
abstract: Mycelial cell wall preparations of Penicillium charlesii G. Smith have been shown to have a total neutral carbohydrate content of 69%. Glucosamine which comprises 12% of the wall is present principally as chitin. Lipids comprise 37.5% of the wall while polypeptides comprise 19.5%. No galactofuranose units are present in the wall of this organism which is known to produce an extracellular beta-1,5-galactofuranose containing polymer.
