Abstract
In this study cyst walls of Hartmannella glebae were isolated and quantitatively analyzed. They were fractionated into alkali-insoluble and alkali-soluble fractions. The alkali-insoluble fraction appeared to be cellulose which represented 4.2% of the total weight of the wall. The major component of the alkali-soluble fraction consisted of proteins (64.7%). It also contained a glucose polymer (probably a precursor of cellulose) and lipids. The amino acid composition of the wall was also determined.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
