Hyphal wall consists of microfibrils composed of ___________________
Answer: A
Correct answer: hemicellulose or chitin
A fungal wall is built of microfibrils in a matrix, and in most fungi the fibrillar material is chitin - a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine - with hemicellulosic glucans in the matrix. Cellulose walls occur only in the oomycetes. Note that this is quite unlike a bacterial wall, which is peptidoglycan, and is why antifungal drugs need different targets.
