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.

Cyclic diguanylic acid stimulates 1,4-μ-glucan synthase fromSaprolegnia monoica [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991 Abstract 1,4-μ-Glucan synthase activity, but not 1,3-μ-glucan-synthase activity, from Saprolegnia monoica was stimulated by cyclic-diguanylic acid, an immediate activator of Acetobacter xylinum - cellulose synthase. This activator, which increased the V max without modifying the K m for UDP-glucose, was active on solubilized and partially ...

The role of ruminal carboxymethylcellulases in the degradation of β-glucans from cereal grain [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1998 The non-cellulolytic ruminal bacterium, Prevotella bryantii, grew rapidly on water soluble β-glucans, but a mutant deficient in carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) activity could not. Native activity gels prepared with CMC and β-glucan indicated that the CMCase and β-glucanase activities migrated at similar rates. When a plasmid carrying the P.

Involvement of phosphorylated compounds in stimulation of 1,4-β glucan synthases ofSaprolegnia monoica [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991 The stimulation by ATP of β glucan synthase activities of cell-free extracts of Saprolegnia monoica was enhanced by the presence of glucose-phosphates. These effects were obtained in conditions of 1,4-β glucan synthesis; on the contrary, strong inhibition was observed during 1,3-β glucan production.

Immunotoxicity of soluble β-glucans induced by indomethacin treatment [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998 (1 --> 3)-Beta-D-Glucan (beta-glucan) is a biological response modifier that regulates host immune response. However, the side effects of this drug have not been extensively examined. In this study, we found that the combination of a beta-glucan and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, indomethacin, induced lethal toxicity in mice. Lethal toxicity of

Divergence of barley and oat varieties according to their content of β-glucan [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2017 Barley and oat have been promoted for years as good sources of dietary fiber, especially β-glucan. Studies have shown a positive effect of barley and oat β-glucan on human health and as a result, there has been an increasing demand for β-glucans in the ...

Indirect Measurement of β-Glucan Content in Barley Grain with Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy
Foods, 2022 β-Glucan is a component of barley grains with functional properties that make it useful for human consumption. Cultivars with high grain β-glucan are required for industrial processing.

Role of anti-β-glucan antibody in host defense against fungi [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2005 We have recently detected an anti-beta-glucan antibody in normal human and normal mouse sera. The anti-beta-glucan antibody showed reactivity to pathogenic fungal Aspergillus and Candida cell wall glucan. Anti-beta-glucan antibody could bind whole Candida cells. It also enhanced the candidacidal activity of macrophages in vitro.

Physicochemical and Digestive Properties of Yam Starch/Oat β-Glucan Blends
Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022 In order to study the effect of oat β-glucan on yam starch, the yam starch/oat β-glucan blends were prepared by rapid visco analyzer. The gelatinizing properties, thermal properties, rheological properties and digestive properties of the blends were ...
