Abstract: Fungal-type galactomannan (FTGM) is a polysaccharide composed of α-(1 → 2)-/α-(1 → 6)-mannosyl and β-(1 → 5)-/β-(1 → 6)-galactofuranosyl residues located at the outer cell wall of the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. FTGM contains a linear α-mannan structure called core-mannan composed of… read more here.

Abstract: Fungal-type galactomannan is a polysaccharide incorporated into the cell wall of filamentous fungi belonging to the subphylum Pezizomycotina. Biosynthetic enzymes of fungal-type galactomannan are potential targets for antifungal drugs and agrochemicals. ABSTRACT Fungal-type galactomannan, a… read more here.
