TLDR
Results suggest that the chitin synthetase is a plasma membrane-bound enzyme that was found in the Phycomyces mycelia of different ages as well as in the sporangiophores of each of the five developmental stages.

Fungal Cell Walls: A Survey

TL;DR: The cell wall is commonly regarded as an assemblage of polymers, mainly polysaccharides, that occurs outside the plasma membrane of cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria that offers protection and, being the outermost cover of cells, often contains molecules involved in interaction between cells.

Biosynthesis of cell walls of fungi.

TL;DR: A large number of the Wall Components studied had polysaccharide-protein complexes, and the structure of these complexes was similar to that of a cell wall, suggesting that wall architecture and structure-based determinants of wall growth and stability are similar.

Chitin Nanostructures in Living Organisms

TL;DR: Current research on the chitinous nanostructures is today important in order to understand the roles of chitin in vivo, as well as to prepare materials for medical and veterinary applications, in particular composites for filling bone defects, hemostatic bandages for emergency management of bleeding, and non-wovens for the ordered regeneration of wounded tissues.

In-vitro auxin binding to particulate cell fractions from corn coleoptiles.

TL;DR: Among many compounds tested, only auxins and such auxin analogues that are known to interact directly with auxin in transport and/or growth were found to interfere with this binding.

Chitin and yeast budding. Localization of chitin in yeast bud scars.

TL;DR: Yeast cells extracted with alkali and acetic acid revealed very thin cell envelopes with prominent bud scars in the shape of a shallow crater with a raised rim, which concluded that chitin is localized in a ring around the bud scar, sandwiched between two layers of glucan.
