The Biosynthesis of Mannan in Saccharomyces carlsbergensis
Abstract A particulate preparation obtained by lysing yeast protoplasts was found to catalyze the incorporation of radioactivity from guanosine diphosphate 14C-mannose into a mannose polysaccharide. The km for guanosine diphosphate mannose is 0.5 mm, and the optimum pH is between 5.5 and 7.2. There is an almost absolute requirement of Mn++ for activity,

Serological Specificity of Yeast Mannan [PDF]
SUMMARY: Soluble serologically active preparations extracted by various methods from Saccharomyces spp. showed the group specificity previously detected by agglutination tests with whole cells. The antigenic properties of the four serological groups of the genus Saccharomyces are probably determined by the cell wall mannan.
