Murrill, and their comparative analysis was performed. The separated fungal biopolymers were well-characterized in respect of their structure and some physicochemical properties. Structural analyses, i.e., Fou- rier-transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, 'FI nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and specific rotation, revealed that the alkali-soluble wall fraction from this basidiomycetous fungus contained about 56% of (1—>3)-linked a-glucans. Four out of five a-(l—>3)-glucans isolated by different methods from the mycelium of the polypore fungus L. sulphureus induced higher activity of fungal and bacterial mutanase than those obtained on mutan. Therefore, the a-(l—>3)-glucans from fruiting bodies ofL sulphureus can be used as a new alternative to streptococcal mutan, which so far has been known as the best inducer of mutanase production.}, type={Text}, title={L-(1—>3)-Glucans from cell wall of Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.:Fr.)
