A Report on Fungal (1→3)-α-<span style="font-variant: small-caps">d</span>-glucans: Properties, Functions and Application

The cell walls of fungi are composed of glycoproteins, chitin, and α- and β-glucans. Although there are many reports on β-glucans, α-glucan polysaccharides are not yet fully understood. This review characterizes the physicochemical properties and functions of (1&a...
