Sialic acids, sialoconjugates and enzymes of their metabolism in fungi
Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021 Sialic acids (Sia) represent a set of derivatives of nine-carbon sugar neuraminic acid that occupy a terminal position in oligosaccharide chains located on the surface of cells. They are very important for several physiological and pathological processes,
