Dear Colleagues,
I Isolated four fungi , Hannaella oryzae, Yersinia sp, Pseudozyma sp and Sporobolomyces carnicolor in my study. Now I wonder whether chitin exist in the cell wall of the fungi or not? We know that chitin is a main component in the cell wall of fungi. But how about these four species? Any paper I can cited or I need to do some experiments to prove it?
Best wishes
Zha

Chitin must not necessarily be a Major component of fungal cell walls. It's more the typical component.
