General description

The molecule consists of a linear chain of glucose units without any branching. The molecular weight is ∼500,000 Da.

Application

β-1,3-Glucan from Euglena gracilis may be compared with other β-1,3-glucans and their derivatives to study mechanisms of protection of DNA from oxidative lesions. β-1,3-Glucan from Euglena gracilis may be used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize glucanase(s).

β-1,3-Glucan binding proteins (βGBPs) are soluble pattern recognition proteins/receptors that bind to β-1,3-glucans from fungi cell walls. In crustaceans, βGBPs are abundant plasmatic proteins produced by the hepatopancreas, and have been proved to play multiple biological functions. Here, we purified

Five types of macroalgae from the southern hemisphere were analysed for the presence of β-1,3/1,6-glucan and its immunostimulant properties. We were able to extract soluble β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan from Durvillaea antarctica (Chamisso) Hariot (DA). The morphology of the brown algae influenced extraction
