Electron micrographs showed microfibrils in the walls. The walls are composed chiefly of carbohydrate material, mainly D-glucose, together with D-galactose, glucosamine and mannose. Only small amounts of protein were found. Fractionation with alkali and acid indicated that the walls contain several glycans., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-51-1-145
