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.
