Location of mannan and chitin on thin sections of budding yeasts with gold markers
Abstract
Mannan was located on thin sections of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis with the homologous anti-mannan antibodies or with Concanavalin A, both labelled with gold granules. Fully synthesized mannan was found in the cell walls, on the plasmalemma and within the cytoplasm sometimes associated with vesicles and vacuoles. Chitin or its oligomers were located with wheat germ agglutinin in the bud scars but also in the cell wall and the cytoplasm near the plasmalemma. Both mannan and chitin or its oligomers were found in the forming septum and are synthesized within the cytoplasm. The gold method was also suitable for marking mannan and chitin simultaneously.
