Glucans secreted by fungi
The production of Schizophyllan by Schizophyllum commune and Scleroglucan by Sclerotium rolfsii is growth associated. Shear stress as a result of the impeller type and rotation speed as well as an optimum but not maximum oxygen supply are the key factors for enhanced production. Batch cultivations resulted maximum yields of 13 g L for both ß-glucans. In oxygen limited chemostats with biomass fe...

Among the biopolymers of nature, the high-molecular-weight glucans are probably the most widely distributed. These homopolysaccharides with aand p1,4-, 1,3-, and 1,64nkages account for huge quantities of such natural substances as starch, cellulose, pseudonigeran, curdlan and paramylon, dextran, and pustulan. All of these polymers are either naturally crystalline or can be easily induced to cry...

متن کاملPotentiation of Innate Immunity by β-Glucans
β-Glucans have been known to exhibit antitumor activities by potentiating host immunity by an unknown mechanism. The C-type lectin dectin-1, a β-glucan receptor, is found on the macrophage and can recognize various β-glucans. Previously, we demonstrated the presence of β-glucan receptor, dectin-1, on the Raw 264.7 cells as well as on murine mucosal organs, such as the thymus, the lung, and the ...
