Popis: To deduce the nature of the cell wall of Schwanniomyces occidentalis and its mode of growth by analysis of the distribution and nature of wall ruptures after ballistic rupture. The distribution of ruptures is an explicit function of relative strengths of the wall. Curl at the edge of a rupture indicates differ-ential tension between the inside and outside of the wall. However, analysis of curl leads only implicitly to models for growth and maturation of the wall. Nevertheless, the experiment yields data with the capacity to falsify hypotheses.
