β-Glucan Synthase Gene Overexpression and β-Glucans Overproduction in Pleurotus ostreatus Using Promoter Swapping
Mushroom β-glucans are potent immunological stimulators in medicine, but their productivities are very low. In this study, we successfully improved its production by promoter engineering in Pleurotus ostreatus. The promoter for β-1,3-glucan synthase gene (GLS) was replaced by the promoter of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene of Aspergillus nidulans. The homologous recombination frag...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Properties of β-Glucan from Acid Hydrolyzed Barley
This study was performed to investigate changes in the content and purity, as well as physical characteristics of β-glucan extracted from acid hydrolyzed whole grain barleys. Waxy and non-waxy barleys (Hordeum vulgare) were hydrolyzed with different concentrations of HCl (0.1~0.5 N) for 1 h. As the HCl concentration increased, the contents of total and soluble β-glucan from acid hydrolyzed barl...
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 ...
متن کاملβ-glucans and cholesterol (Review)
Hypercholesterolemia is one of primary risk factors of cardiovascular disease, together with metabolic syndrome, hypertension and diabetes. Although progress has been made, the search for novel methods of preventing and treating dyslipidemia is ongoing and current therapies for cardiovascular disease induce various side effects. β‑glucans are linear unbranched polysaccharides found in various n...
متن کاملBarley and Oat β-Glucan Content Measured by Calcofluor Fluorescence in a Microplate Assay
Of the various components of barley and oats, one constituent of the cereal cell wall, (1→3,1→4)-β-D-glucan (β-glucan), is important to a wide range of interests. Malting barley breeders strive to develop lines that modify well, yielding malts with low soluble β-glucan levels in Congress worts (less than the American Malting Barley Association guidelines of 100–120 ppm) (http:// www.ambainc.org...
