Abstract

Fungal glucan is an important part of the cell wall,and closely related to many processes such as mycelial formation and growth.Fungal glucans also showed significant bioactivities including immune enhancement,regulation of intestinal flora,and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.The most important glucans in fungi are mainly composed of a main chain connected by β-1,3-glycosidic bonds and branched chains connected by β-1,3 and/or β-1,6-glycosidic bonds in different proportions and degrees of polymerization.The β-1,3-glucanotransferases belonging to the GH72 family possess the ability to cleave and transfer glucan chains.During the process of fungal glucan synthesis,β-1,3-glucanotransferases cleave and transfer the linear glucan chain to remodel and/or modify its structure to form the highly-branched structures,which affects their solubility,dispersibility and functions.This paper focuses on reviewing the recent research progress of GH72 family glucanotransferases in several fungi.
