    Author: San-Blas G, Suzuki S, Hearn V, Pinel C, Kobayashi H, Mendez C, Niño G, Nishikawa A, San-Blas F, Shibata N.
    Journal: J Med Vet Mycol; 1994; 32 Suppl 1():321-8. PubMed ID: 7536840.
    Abstract:
    Fungal polysaccharides are cell wall components which may act as antigens or as structural substrates. As antigens, the role of mannans in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans, and of glycoproteins in Aspergillus fumigatus are discussed. Analyses on beta-glucan synthetase in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and the inhibitory effect of Hansenula mrakii killer toxin on beta-glucan biosynthesis are also considered.
