β-Glucan Synthesis Gene Family in Crops: Advances in Classification, Function, and Regulation [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biologyβ-glucan is an important component of crop cell walls, and its chemical structure is closely related to its physiological function. Among them, (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan (mixed-linkage β-glucan, MLGs) is a unique type of β-glucan in graminaceous crops.

Inhibition of osteosarcoma lung metastases by β-glucan and CD40 agonist is mediated by activation of macrophages and NK cells [PDF]
Journal for ImmunoTherapy of CancerBackground Osteosarcoma (OS) lung metastases remain a significant therapeutic challenge. Innate immune activation is a promising therapeutic approach. Innate immune agonists can modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and improve therapeutic response ...

Determination the Optimum Conditions for β-glucan Production Extracted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science, 2023 Β-glucan is a natural polysaccharide composed of a group of glucose monomers linked by beta glycoside bonds that yeasts can be synthesized. The effect of different temperatures, inoculum size, glucose concentration, yeast extract concentration, pH, and ...

An immunoregulator nanomedicine approach for the treatment of tuberculosis
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Introduction: A nanoparticle composed of a poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) core and a chitosan (CS) shell with surface-adsorbed 1,3 β-glucan (β-glucan) was synthesized. The exposure response of CS-PLGA nanoparticles (0.1 mg/mL) with surface-bound β-

β-Glucans Production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Using Tofu Waste as Animal Feed Supplement
Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2021 Tofu industrial waste has the potential to become contaminant when it is not maximum processed, so it needs appropriate treatment to minimize the occurrence of pollution. β-Glucans can be produced from the yeast cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.As a feed supplement, β-Glucans have been used for an immunostimulant because it can increase the ...

Bacterial α-glucan phosphorylases [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999 Although glycogen and other α-1,4-d-glucan storage polysaccharides are present in many bacteria, only few glucan phosphorylases from bacteria have been identified and characterised on the protein or gene level. All bacterial phosphorylases follow the same catalytic mechanisms as their plant and vertebrate counterparts, but differ considerably in terms ...

Effect of papulacandin B on β-glucan synthesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1983 The antifungal antibiotic papulacandin β inhibited B(1,3)glucan-synthase activity, in vitro, from Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Levels of β(1,3)glucan-synthase from antibiotic-treated cultures were lower than the control cultures whereas mannan-synthase and β(1,3)glucanase activities were almost unaffected.
