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.
