Abstract
Fuller, Melvin S. (Brown U. Providence, R. I.), and Isaac Barshad. Chitin and cellulose in the cell walls of Rhizidiomyces sp. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47(2): 105‐109. Illus. 1960.–Chemically isolated cell wall preparations of the aquatic Phycomycete, Rhizidiomyces sp., were analyzed by means of X‐rays. The resulting diffraction patterns had maxima corresponding with known values for chitin and mercerized cellulose. The findings in this study are discussed with respect to Von Wettstein's hypothesis that the aquatic Phycomycetes can be separated into groups on the basis of whether their cell walls contain chitin or cellulose.
