Glucans of Oomycete Cell Walls

The cell walls of selected oomycetous fungi are composed primarily of glucans, and cellulose constitutes a relatively small proportion of the total glucan. The noncellulosic constituents consist of acid-soluble glucan or glucans and insoluble glucan or glucans. These noncellulosic glucan fractions contain beta-(1rarr3) glucosidic linkages and apparently beta-(1rarr6) linkages also.
