More than 27% of the cell wall are unstably bound components: Proteophosphomannan as a main polysaccharide of the cell wall, mannose and manno‐oligosides which are bound to peptides or phosphate. 19% are glycosidically linked with a phosphate bridge or 0‐glycosidically (Ser/Thr) linked with the protein which is covalently bound to the cell wall. Besides mannose and glucose, manno‐oligosides and gluco‐oligosides are involved in this linkage. A preparation consisting of glucan and chitin remains after careful degradation. It contains (1,2)‐, (1,3)‐ and (1,6)‐ linked glucose, (1,2,3)‐, (1,2,6)‐ or (1,3,6)‐glucose‐branchpoints and (1,4)‐linked N‐acetylglucosamine.
