Cell wall chitin content after growth for 18 h
| pH and temp (°C) | Chitin content (μg of chitin/mg of wall)a |
|---|---|
| pH 4 | |
| 37 | 47.4 ± 9.2 |
| 42 | 97.4 ± 8.0** |
| pH 7.4 | |
| 37 | 33.0 ± 4.3 |
| 42 | 54.8 ± 9.0** |
Values are means ± standard deviations (n ≥ 3). **, P < 0.01 versus growth at 37°C.
