The deep-sea fungus Penicillium griseofulvum produces an extracellular polysaccharide, Ps1-1, when grown in potato dextrose-agar medium. Ps1-1 was isolated from the fermented broth using ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. Ps1-1 is a galactomannan with a molecular weight of about

Fungal cell walls frequently contain a polymer of mannose and galactose called galactomannan. In the pathogenic filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, this polysaccharide is made of a linear mannan backbone with side chains of galactofuran and is anchored to the plasma

Oxidative burst in plants is elicited by biotic and abiotic stressors. Analogously to some monosaccharides which act as intracellular antioxidants, cell-wall polysaccharides may be in charge of buffering free-radical production in the extracellular compartment under pronounced prooxidative settings.

Endosperms from seeds of different subfamilies of Leguminosae were submitted to sequential aqueous and alkaline aqueous extractions. The extractions from species belonging to the Mimosoideae and Faboideae subfamilies yielded galactomannans with constant Man:Gal ratios, whereas the extractions from Caesalpinioideae seeds
