Maize alpha-Glucan Phosphorylase [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1975 The major isozyme of alpha-glucan phosphorylase from developing maize seeds has been purified to homogeneity as verified by gel electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation and immunoprecipitation. The enzyme appears to be dimeric and has an estimated molecular weight of 223000 +/- 10000 based on ultracentrifugation, dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis, and ...

KNR4, a suppressor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cwh mutants, is involved in the transcriptional control of chitin synthase genes [PDF]
, 1999 The KNR4 gene, originally isolated by complementation of a K9 killer-toxinresistant mutant displaying reduced levels of both 1,3-b-glucan and 1,3-bglucan synthase activity, was recloned from a YCp50 genomic library as a suppressor of Saccharomyces ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
