A distinction between the chemical composition of ultrastructurally modified regions and the rest of the cell wall ('canals') of the yeast Schwanniomyces occidentalis was shown by cytochemical staining of cell wall polysaccharides. The formation of 'canals' was induced by cultivation of yeasts on hydrocarbons and was parallelled by the enhancement of β-glucosidase, β-glucanase and α-mannosidase activities which were all capable of degrading cell wall polysaccharides. The presence of cycloheximide prevented 'canal' formation. We assume that these hydrolases modified definite cell wall regions transforming them into 'canals'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
