A Concise Review on the Molecular Structure and Function Relationship of β-Glucan

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
β-glucan is a non-starch soluble polysaccharide widely present in yeast, mushrooms, bacteria, algae, barley, and oat. β-Glucan is regarded as a functional food ingredient due to its various health benefits.

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.

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].

Barley grain (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan content:effects of transcript and sequence variation in genes encoding the corresponding synthase and endohydrolase enzymes [PDF]

, 2019
The composition of plant cell walls is important in determining cereal end uses. Unlike other widely consumed cereal grains barley is comparatively rich in (1,3;1,4)-β-glucan, a source of dietary fibre.

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

β-Glucan production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in medium with different nitrogen sources in air-lift fermentor

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 (

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.

Optimizing the synthesis of yeast Beta-glucan via response surface methodology for nanotechnology application

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background The production of biopolymers from waste resources is a growing trend, especially in high-population countries like Egypt. Beta-glucan (β-glucan) belongs to natural polysaccharides that are derived from plant and microbial origins.
