Cellulin or cellulin granules are a type of polysaccharide found exclusively within the oomycetes of the order Leptomitales. Cellulin granules are composed of β-glucan and chitin. The experimentally determined composition of cellulin is 39% glucan (composed of beta-1,3- and beta-1,6-linked glucose units) and 60% chitin.
