Abstract
Isolated cell walls of stromata of Cyttaria harioti Fischer, collected in the field, accounted for ca. 67% of the fungus dry weight and were composed of neutral sugars (81%), 2-amino-2-deoxyglucose (0.2%), aminoacids (3.4%), and lipids (6.8%). Alkaline treatment gave a major soluble β-(1 → 3)-glucan and a minor insoluble one, structurally related, which in total accounted for 89% of the cell wall preparation. The absence of chitin is a remarkable feature since it is present in almost all the Ascomycetes previously studied.
