13. Tobacco Transgenic Lines That Express Fenugreek Galactomannan Galactosyltransferase Constitutively Have Structurally Altered Galactomannans in Their Seed Endosperm Cell Walls1
Galactomannans [(1→6)-α-d-galactose (Gal)-substituted (1→4)-β-d-mannans] are major cell wall storage polysaccharides in the endosperms of some seeds, notably the legumes. Their biosynthesis in developing legume seeds involves the functional interaction of two membrane-bound glycosyltransferases, mannan synthase (MS) and galactomannan galactosyltransfer

14. Cross-reaction between the mycelial galactomannas of three Hormodendrum strains and the mannans of two Candida albicans strains of different serotypes, A and B.
Cross-reactivity between galactomannans of three representative Hormodendrum strains, H. pedrosoi IFO 6071, H. compactum IFO 6726, and H. dermatitidis IFO 6421, and the mannans of two Candida strains, C. albicans NIH A-207 (serotype A) and C. albicans NIH B-792 (serotype B), were investigated by means of agar-gel double diffusion, quantitative preciptin reac

15. The Seeds of Lotus japonicus Lines Transformed with Sense, Antisense, and Sense/Antisense Galactomannan Galactosyltransferase Constructs Have Structurally Altered Galactomannans in Their Endosperm Cell Walls1
Galactomannan biosynthesis in legume seed endosperms involves two Golgi membrane-bound glycosyltransferases, mannan synthase and galactomannan galactosyltransferase (GMGT). GMGT specificity is an important factor regulating the distribution and amount of (1→6)-α-galactose (Gal) substitution of the (1→4)-β-linked mannan backbone. The model legume Lotus

16. Immunological Studies on Dermatophytes IV. Chemical Structures and Serological Reactivities of Polysaccharides from Microsporum praecox, Trichophyton ferrugineum, Trichophyton sabouraudii, and Trichophyton tonsurans
The chemical structures and serological specificities of polysaccharides isolated from four species of dermatophytes, Microsporum praecox, Trichophyton ferrugineum, T. sabouraudii, and T. tonsurans, were investigated. Each of these species yielded a mixture of crude polysaccharides which could be separated into three water-soluble, neutral polysaccharides fr

17. Mannose-containing Polysaccharides of the Apiculate Yeasts Nadsonia, Hanseniaspora, Kloeckera, and Saccharomycodes, and Their Use as an Aid in Classification1
The mannose-containing polysaccharides formed by species of Nadsonia, Hanseniaspora, Kloeckera, and Saccharomycodes were extracted with hot aqueous alkali and purified by precipitation as their copper complexes. N. fulvescens and N. elongata formed galactomannans, while Hanseniaspora and Kloeckera species and S. ludwigii formed mannans. H. valbyensis, H. uva

18. Galactose-containing polysaccharides from the human pathogens Sporothrix schenckii and Ceratocystis stenoceras.
Galactose-containing polysaccharides from three strains of Sporothrix schenckii and one strain of Ceratocystis stenoceras were isolated, and their structures were paritally characterized by chemical analysis and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-NMR). S. schenckii polysaccharide preparations from all strains were not precipitated by Fehling so

19. Towards Designer Cellulosomes in Clostridia: Mannanase Enrichment of the Cellulosomes Produced by Clostridium cellulolyticum
The man5K gene of Clostridium cellulolyticum was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. This gene encodes a 424-amino-acid preprotein composed of an N-terminal leader peptide, followed by a dockerin module and a C-terminal catalytic module belonging to family 5 of the glycosyl hydrolases. Mature Man5K displays 62% identity with ManA from Clostridium c

20. Purification and characterization of extremely thermostable beta-mannanase, beta-mannosidase, and alpha-galactosidase from the hyperthermophilic eubacterium Thermotoga neapolitana 5068.
Thermostable and thermoactive beta-mannanase (1,4-beta-D-mannan mannanohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.78]), beta-mannosidase (beta-D-mannopyranoside hydrolase [EC 3.2.1.25]) and alpha-galactosidase (alpha-D-galactoside galactohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.22]) were purified to homogeneity from cell extracts and extracellular culture supernatants of the hyperthermophilic eubacter

21. Cloning and Heterologous Expression of a β-d-Mannosidase (EC 3.2.1.25)-Encoding Gene from Thermobifida fusca TM51
Thermobifida fusca TM51, a thermophilic actinomycete isolated from composted horse manure, was found to produce a number of lignocellulose-degrading hydrolases, including endoglucanases, exoglucanases, endoxylanases, β-xylosidases, endomannanases, and β-mannosidases, when grown on cellulose or hemicellulose as carbon sources. β-Mannosidases (EC 3.2.1.25),
