Recent evidence indicates that in addition to mannoproteins, some P-glucan is e iosed on the surface of C. albicans yeasts, at sites that presumptively represent bud scars. During cell division, B-glucans and chitin become exposed at the site of separation of the dai ter from the mother...

Catalyze the hydrolysis of B-glucosyl in B-glucans linked by B-1,-glycosidic bonds (cellulose). It is mainly synthesized in the scutellum. 

Catalyze the hydrolysis of B-glucosyl linkages in 1-3 or 1-4 B-glucans associated to cell walls where the glucosyl residue is substimted at the C(0) 3 position.
