Abstract

Microalgae are a renewable and promising biomass for large-scale biofuel, food and nutrient production. However, their efficient exploitation depends on our knowledge of the cell wall composition and organization as it can limit access to high-value molecules. Here we provide an atomic-level model of the non-crystalline and water-insoluble glycoprotein-rich cell wall of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . Using in situ solid-state and sensitivity-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance, we reveal unprecedented details on the protein and carbohydrate composition and their nanoscale heterogeneity, as well as the presence of spatially segregated protein- and glycan-rich regions with different dynamics and hydration levels. We show that mannose-rich lower-molecular-weight proteins likely contribute to the cell wall cohesion by binding to high-molecular weight protein components, and that water provides plasticity to the cell-wall architecture. The structural insight exemplifies strategies used by nature to form cell walls devoid of cellulose or other glycan polymers.

  • AsymPolPOK and other biradicals are small, water-soluble molecules that diffuse through porous cell walls without disrupting their structure.

    “AsymPolPOK and other biradicals are small (2–3 nm), water-soluble molecules that diffuse through porous cell walls without disrupting their structure, enabling widespread use in the structural analysis of plant, fungal, algal, and bacterial cell wall materials as well as intact mammalian cells84–90.”

    From Distinct echinocandin responses of Candida albicans and Candida auris cell walls revealed by solid-state NMR (2025) · cites this paper as [86]

    The Methods (page unavailable) describe an aqueous AMUPol biradical solution applied to extracted algal cell walls and intact microalgae. The Results (page unavailable) suggest that the polarizing radical localizes in the cell wall, but do not establish diffusion through pores or that the biradical leaves wall structure undisturbed. The copy does not give a 2–3 nm size, identify AsymPolPOK as the reagent used, or establish use across the other listed materials and cells. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
