1. Schematic representation of major cell wall components.
Schematic representation of major cell wall components. The cell wall is external to the cell membrane (shown in black and white at the bottom). Labeled symbols: red rectangles, GPI-CWPs; yellow hexagons, Pir proteins. Unlabeled symbols: dark blue lines, β-1,3-glucan; medium blue lines, β-1,6-glucan; light blue lines, chitin; maroon circles, phosphomannolipid; green circles, unattached proteins found in the cell wall or in the medium.
