Amphora cell wall associated matrices.

The authors should have a more careful look at the paper by Tesson and Hildebrand 2013. Indeed in this paper insoluble matrices associated with Amphora (A. salina) cell wall were characterized. An organic matrix was found associated with the mature cell wall, additionally an other organic structure was found localized between daughter cells during division.
