| Method |
(Primary source abstract:) "Cell walls, representing 26%-32% of the cell dry weight, were prepared from several strains of the yeasts Kloeckera apiculata, Debaryomyces hansenii, Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Extraction of the walls with potassium hydroxide at 4 degrees C, followed by saturation of the alkali-soluble extract with ammonium sulphate gave fractions of mannoprotein, alkali-soluble glucan and alkali-insoluble glucan." |

P.318 left column 3rd paragraph: "The S. cerevisiae cell wall represents ~30% of the dry weight of the cell and is composed largely of polysaccharides (~85%) and proteins (~15%) (primary source)." |
