- ArticleThe enzymic degradation of an alkali-soluble glucan from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Fleet GH, Manners DJ.J Gen Microbiol. 1977 Feb;98(2):315-27.An alkali-soluble glucan from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC1109 has been hydrolysed with a purified endo-(1 leads to 3)-beta-D-glucanase and an endo-(1 leads to 6)-beta-D-glucanase from Bacillus circulans WL-12. The products of enzyme action include various oligosaccharide and polysaccharide fractions which have been separated by gel filtration and characterized, giving new information on the fine structure of the glucan. The isolated cell walls have also been subjected to enzymic hydrolysis. The results suggest that part of the cell-wall mannan is held in place by a glucan component.
