β-Glucan is a major growth substrate for human gut bacteria related to Coprococcus eutactus [PDF]
, 2020 A clone encoding carboxymethyl cellulase activity was isolated during functional screening of a human gut metagenomic library using Lactococcus lactis MG1363 as heterologous host.

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

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.

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.

Detection of peptidoglycan and β-glucan with silkworm larvae plasma test [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1996 A method to detect peptidoglycan and (1-->3) beta-D-glucan with silkworm larvae plasma (SLP) derived from the hemolymph of the silkworm, Bombyx mori was developed. SLP contains all of the factors of the pro-phenol oxidase cascade, an important self-defense mechanism of insects.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Beta-glucans enable functional reprogramming of innate immune cells, a process defined as “trained immunity”, which results in enhanced host responsiveness against primary (training) and/or secondary infections (resilience).

Isolation and characterization of periplasmic cyclic β-glucans ofAzorhizobium caulinodans [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003 Oligoglucose molecules isolated from Azorhizobium caulinodans were characterized by compositional analysis, Smith degradation, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. A.

3D Structural Insights into β-Glucans and Their Binding Proteins
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 β(1,3)-glucans are a component of fungal and plant cell walls. The β-glucan of pathogens is recognized as a non-self-component in the host defense system.
