Effects of β-Glucans from Aureobasidium pullulans on Cucumber Mosaic Virus Infection in Chili Pepper [PDF]
Research in Plant Disease, 2021 Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most prevalent virus in chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), negatively affects chili pepper production in South Korea. In this study, foliar spraying with β-glucans obtained from the mycelial walls of the yeast-like fungus

Beta-Glucans of Cereals: Functional and Technological Properties [PDF]
, 2023 β-glucans are a polymeric dietary fiber characterized by β-(1,3) and β-(1,4) glycosidic bonds between glucose monomers. They are often used as thickeners, stabilizers, and fat substitutes in foods.

Conformational studies of β‐glucans [PDF]
Biopolymers, 1971 AbstractSteric and energy contour diagrams have been plotted for disaccharide‐like and for helical structures of linear β‐D‐glucans having (1 → 2), (1 → 3) and (1 → 4) linkages. The allowed conformations constitute only about. 4% of the total conformations, indicating that the freedom of rotation of glucose residues is highly restricted in all the ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Neutrophils use different mechanisms to cope with pathogens that invade the host organism. The most intriguing of these responses is a release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) composed of decondensed chromatin and granular proteins with ...

The Mushroom Glucans: Molecules of High Biological and Medicinal Importance
Foods, 2023 Carbohydrates, including polysaccharide macromolecules, are the main constituents of the fungal cell wall. Among these, the homo- or heteropolymeric glucan molecules are decisive, as they not only protect fungal cells but also have broad, positive ...
