Congo red inhibits in vitro β-glucan synthases of Saprolegnia [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990 1,3-β- and 1,4-β-glucan synthases from Saprolegnia were inhibited in vitro by Congo red. This dye was found to be a non competitive inhibitor which prevented initiation and elongation of polymer chains.

Association of immunological disorders in lethal side effect of NSAIDs on β-glucan-administered mice [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2001 (1-->3)-beta-D-Glucan (beta-glucan) is a biological response modifier that regulates host immune response. We have found that the combination of a beta-glucan and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), indomethacin (IND), induced lethal toxicity in mice [Yoshioka et al. (1998) FEMS Immunol. Med. Microbiol., 21, 171-179].

Gradual solubilization ofCandidacell wall β-glucan by oxidative degradation in mice [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998 Candida spp. is a medically important fungi which induces disseminated candidiasis and candidemia in hospitalized immunocompromised patients. The cell wall of Candida is mainly composed of two polysaccharides, mannan and beta-glucan, and at least part of beta-glucan is basically insoluble in H2O or NaOH. We became interested in when and how particulate

Protective effect of β-glucan against systemicStreptococcus pneumoniaeinfection in mice [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2000 The antimicrobial effect of soluble beta-1,3-D-glucan from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (SSG) was examined in mice experimentally infected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 4 and 6B. SSG was administered i.p. either 3 days before challenge or 3-48 h after challenge.

Characterization of an unglycosylated low molecular weight 1,4-β-glucan-glucanohydrolase ofTrichoderma reesei [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990 A low molecular weight endoglucanase (1,4-beta-glucan glucanohydrolase E.C.3.2.1.4) was purified to homogeneity by a two-step procedure from 7 day old culture filtrates of Trichoderma reesei. The endoglucanase was obtained by BioGel A 0.5 m gel chromatography followed by preparative PAGIF. The purified endoglucanase was homogeneous upon titration curve

Stimulation of human neutrophil phagocytosis ofCandida albicansby a β-glucan synthase inhibitor, cilofungin [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991 The effect of a lipopeptide antifungal agent, cilofungin, on serum opsonization and phagocytosis of Candida albicans yeast phase cells in human neutrophil monolayer assays was investigated. Simultaneous addition of fungicidal concentrations of cilofungin did not enhance or inhibit phagocytosis of C. albicans.

Biodiversitas Journal of Biological Diversity, 2007 β-Glucan is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall. The aim of this research is to explore an alternative nitrogen sources for β-glucan production. S. cerevisiae were grown in fermentation medium with different nitrogen sources. Peptone 2%, glutamic acid 0,5%, urea 0,2%, and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (

β-Glucan, extracted from oat, enhances disease resistance against bacterial and parasitic infections [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2003 The effect of beta-glucan, extracted from oats, on the enhancement of resistance to infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Eimeria vermiformis was studied in mice. In vitro study using macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity showed that beta-glucan treatment significantly enhanced phagocytic activity.

Antigen-specific response of murine immune system toward a yeast β-glucan preparation, zymosan [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1999 Zymosan, a particulate beta-glucan preparation from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shows various biological activities, including anti-tumor activity. We have previously shown that soluble beta-glucan initiated anti-tumor activity was long-lived and was effective even by prophylactic treatment at 1 month prior to tumor challenge.
