Recognition of Human Erythrocytes by a Chitin-Binding Lectin of a Fungus, Conidiobolus Lamprauges
A number of chitin- or chitosaccharide-binding lectins have been found in plant kingdom.1 They are listed in Table 1. Some of them were purified from plant extracts by affinity chromatography technique using chitin as affinity adsorbent.

Chitin-binding Hemagglutinin Associated with Cell Wall ofConidiobolus lamprauges [PDF]
The cell wall of Conidiobolus lamprauges is composed of D-glucosamine, D-glucose and d-mannose in the ratio of 1:1:1. The first sugar originated from chitin and a part of the second sugar came from β-glucan.Cell wall-associated, chitin-binding hemagglutinin (endo-CLA) was liberated from the cell wall with β-glucanase but not with chitinase, cellulase ...

Purification and Some Properties of Chitin-binding Hemagglutinin fromConidiobolus lamprauges [PDF]
A chitin-binding hemagglutinin was purified about 50-fold from the culture filtrate of Conidiobolus lamprauges. Hemolytic factor(s) and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase coexisting with the hemagglutinin were removed by treating the culture filtrate with CM Sephadex and for-malinized human erythrocytes.Purified hemagglutinin formed large aggregates upon ...

Formation and Regeneration of Protoplasts from Conidiobolus lamprauges [PDF]
Summary: Protoplasts were formed from aged germlings and mycelia of Conidiobolus lamprauges, using a combination of chitinase and β-glucanase. Methanol, ethanol and propanol stimulated protoplast formation, apparently by a mechanism different from that of mercaptoethanol.
