Dietary β-1,3-Glucan Promotes Growth Performance and Enhances Non-Specific Immunity by Modulating Pattern Recognition Receptors in Juvenile Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)

Fishes
As a typical pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP), β-1,3-glucan can engage with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to initiate an immune response.

Hypolipidemic effects of barley-β-glucan in experimentally induced hyperlipidemic rats [PDF]

Benha Veterinary Medical Journal, 2019
Hyperlipidemia is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. One way to reduce the risk of developing the disease is to lower serum cholesterol levels by making dietary changes.

Kre6 (yeast 1,6-β-transglycosylase) homolog, PhTGS, is essential for β-glucan synthesis in the haptophyte Pleurochrysis haptonemofera

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Haptophytes synthesize unique β-glucans containing more β-1,6-linkages than β-1,3 linkages, as a storage polysaccharide. To understand the mechanism of the synthesis, we investigated the roles of Kre6 (yeast 1,6-β-transglycosylase) homologs, PhTGS, in ...

Valorization of Spent Grains from Beer Production through β-Glucan Extraction

Foods
Brewers’ spent grains (BSG) are the major byproduct of the brewing industry. Recently, it has been found that β-glucan, which can be used as a food supplement, can be extracted from BSG and offers the greatest added value. This study aimed to investigate

The use of β-glucan extracted from baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to increase non-specific immune system and resistence of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to Aeromonas hydrophila

AQUATIC SCIENCE & MANAGEMENT, 2013
Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia disease (MAS) attacking tilapia has increased in recent years as a consequence of intensive aquaculture activities, which led to losses in aquaculture industry. The agent causing MAS disease is Aeromonas hydrophila. The disease can be controlled with the β-glucan.

Pengaruh Variasi Kecepatan Agitasi pada Produksi Β-Glukan dari Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Al-Kauniyah Jurnal Biologi, 2015
β-glucan is very interesting to study because of a variety of benefits that it provides. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular yeast which has a β-glucan component of the biggest in the cell wall.

Expression and β-glucan binding properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) antimicrobial protein (Sp-AMP)

Plant Molecular Biology, 2011
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) secretes a number of small, highly-related, disulfide-rich proteins (Sp-AMPs) in response to challenges with fungal pathogens such as Heterobasidion annosum, although their biological role has been unknown. Here, we examined the expression patterns of these genes, as well as the structure and function of the encoded ...

Effect of dietary β‐glucan supplementation on growth performance, body composition, intestinal microbes, and capacity against pathogen of golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus, family Carangidae)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
The efficacy of dietary β‐glucan supplementation in golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus) was evaluated. The fish were fed five different diets supplemented with 0%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%, and 0.40% β‐glucan for 56 days.
