[Action of various beta(1-3)-D-glucanases on the wall of yeasts: taxonomic applications]. 1976

M Bastide, and E H Hadibi, and J M Bastide, and S Jouvert

Purified beta-(1-3)-D-glucanases (from Aspergillus nidulans, Badidiomycetes sp. QM 806, Trichoderma viride) are used to release protoplasts from various yeasts. Two of them may prove taxonomic correlation. The enzyme of Basidomycetes sp. releases protoplasts from Ascomycetes, the enzyme of T. viride releases protoplasts from Ascomycetes and Heterobasidiomycetes; none of them acts on the Basidiomycetes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011523	Protoplasts	The protoplasm and plasma membrane of plant, fungal, bacterial or archaeon cells without the CELL WALL.	Protoplast
D002473	Cell Wall	The outermost layer of a cell in most PLANTS; BACTERIA; FUNGI; and ALGAE. The cell wall is usually a rigid structure that lies external to the CELL MEMBRANE, and provides a protective barrier against physical or chemical agents.	Cell Walls,Wall, Cell,Walls, Cell
D003904	Mitosporic Fungi	A large and heterogenous group of fungi whose common characteristic is the absence of a sexual state. Many of the pathogenic fungi in humans belong to this group.

D003910	Dextranase	Enzyme that hydrolyzes DEXTRAN to OLIGOSACCHARIDES.	Endo-Dextranase,Glucanase 447-G,Endo Dextranase,Glucanase 447 G
D001203	Ascomycota	A phylum of fungi which have cross-walls or septa in the mycelium. The perfect state is characterized by the formation of a saclike cell (ascus) containing ascospores. Most pathogenic fungi with a known perfect state belong to this phylum.	Ascomycetes,Cochliobolus,Sclerotinia,Ascomycete,Ascomycotas,Sclerotinias
D001487	Basidiomycota	A phylum of fungi that produce their sexual spores (basidiospores) on the outside of the basidium. It includes forms commonly known as mushrooms, boletes, puffballs, earthstars, stinkhorns, bird's-nest fungi, jelly fungi, bracket or shelf fungi, and rust and smut fungi.
