The cell wall sample isolated from the mechanically disintegrated cells of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, was found to be composed of glucan as a major component accompanied with a small amount of peptides. For the quantitative estimation of the wall carbohydrate, the chemical extraction method of Bell and Northcote was employed with slight modifications. The wall carbohydrate content in cells of different ages and in those grown under the influence of anti-yeast antibiotics was estimated.
