title: Chemical composition of the cell wall of Cryptostroma corticale: effects of antibiotics on cell morphology.
abstract: The chemical composition of the cell wall from four strains of Cryptostroma cortical was examined and was found to be of the chitin-glucan type. The composition was consistent among the four strains. The effects of the antibiotics repamycin, ramihyphin, aculeacin-A, cytochalasin and polyoxin-D on cell morphology were studied, using electron and light microscopy.
