Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy is assessed as a technique for identifying polymers derived from fungal cell walls, both as isolated materials and in mixtures with one another. The technique is then applied to a study of the composition of fungal cell walls and the conclusion reached that infrared spectra provide a rapid and valuable indication of the major components of such walls. They can also be used to follow the effect of chemical treatments designed to separate major wall components.Keywords
