Fungal Cells

Fungal Cells  -

In yeasts and molds, the outermost structure is generally the cell wall.

Some pathogenic yeasts produce a capsular material and the composition of capsule when produced, is a polysaccharide.

Generally, structures such as flagella are not seen in vegetative cells but in fungi some spores may be motile.

Fimbriae like structures have been described in ustilago and yeasts and these appear to be involved in flocculation and transfer of genetic material.

These fungal fimbriae contain both proteins and carbohydrates.
