thread_title:  Genus Mycoplasma bacteria 

message: I am wondering whether maybe this paragraph needs some further adjustment. As far as I understood, fungal cell walls are composed of (from inside out):
* chitin layer (following the plasmamembrane)
* a layer of β-1,3-glucan
* a layer of mannoproteins (= mannose-containing glycoproteins) which are heavily glycosylated towards the outside
Most of the glucosamine units found in the cell walls are in fact the subunits of chitin, since chitin is a cellulose-like polymer consisting mainly of unbranched chains of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Chitin = Polymeric N-acetyl-D-glucosamine

"The fungal kingdom is very diverse, with species growing as unicellular yeasts and/or branching hyphae that produce a remarkable array of spores and other reproductive structures. In each case, the shape and integrity of the fungus is dependent upon the mechanical strength of the cell wall, which performs a wide range of essential roles during the interaction of the fungus with its environment (Gooday, 1995Down). The fungal wall is a complex structure composed typically of chitin, 1,3-{beta}- and 1,6-{beta}-glucan, mannan and proteins, although wall composition frequently varies markedly between species of fungi. For diagrammatic representations of part or all of the cell wall of yeasts or filamentous fungi see recent reviews by Bernard & Latgé (2001)Down, McFadden & Casadevall (2001)Down, Smits et al. (2001)Down and Odds et al. (2003)"

"The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae represents some 30% of the total weight of the cell and is made up of beta-glucans, mannose-containing glycoproteins (mannoproteins), and small amounts of chitin. The mannoproteins can be divided into three groups according to the linkages that bind them to the structure of the cell wall: (i) noncovalently bound, (ii) covalently bound to the structural glucan, and (iii) disulfide bound to other proteins that are themselves covalently bound to the structural glucan of the cell wall."

message: Is the cell wall fully permeable?Rabidretardedolphinz 14:20, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That depends on what you mean by "fully" and what kind of cell wall you're talking about.  If you're talking about the primary cell wall of green plants, then it is fully permeable to the extent that water-soluble molecules and ions can pass through. Regulation of permeability is handled by the plasma membrane and any water-proof secondary walls. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:32, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Permiabilitty 

message: :I am reviewing this article for class and one thing I didn’t understand is the “freely permeable” part in the permeability section of the article. That subject of permeability should be expanded to further understand the term “freely”. In the bacteria section of the article it talks about penicillin and it’s ability to prevent cross-linking in the peptidoglycan, this seems out of place to me when it comes to the importance of understand cells walls for bacteria. Maybe drugs affecting cell walls can have it’s own section in the article. Something simple to add would be images for molds and fungal cell walls since bacteria and algae have pictures to help understand what the cell walls look like.Kyellen94 (talk) 21:51, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Review 

message: Overall, the plant cell wall section was very informational.  However, there are a few edits I think would help enhance the article.
The links at the beginning of the "Composition" section are helpful, but a brief explanation of the relationship between each carbohydrate should be included. For example, why are all three needed? What are the weaknesses and benefits of each one that contribute to the structure and function of the cell wall?
The information on structural proteins is sufficient as a brief overview, but the reason why they are more prominent in specialized cells and in cell corners should be included.
In the “Formation” section, the theory of each model should be summarized.
There are very few citations throughout this section, especially under the “Composition” heading.  Specifically, the place where the information of major polymers of wood was obtained should be cited.
