General description

The molecule consists of a linear chain of glucose units without any branching.

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).

The walls of infectious pathogens, which are essential for transmission, pathogenesis, and diagnosis, contain sugar polymers that are defining structural features, e.g., β-1,3-glucan and chitin in fungi, chitin in Entamoeba cysts, β-1,3-GalNAc in Giardia cysts, and peptidoglycans in bacteria. The

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
