A. fumigatus cell walls are dynamically heterogeneous. a 1D 13C DP spectra of intact A. fumigatus cells with quantitative detection of all molecules (black) or selective detection of the mobile components (red). Abbreviations of carbohydrate names, carbon numbers, and subtypes (superscripts) are included in the assignment. b Difference spectrum obtained by subtraction of the two 1D DP spectra. c 13C CP spectrum that favors rigid molecules. d Peak intensity ratios between different DP spectra and the CP spectrum show that α-1,3-glucan and a subset of chitins are relatively rigid. Error bars are standard deviations propagated from NMR signal-to-noise ratios. e 1H-T relaxation times. The open and filled bars represent the short and long-components of 1H-T relaxation. Error bars are standard deviations of the fit parameters. Dashlines indicate the average value of the longer 1H-T component for each type of polysaccharides
