Candida albicans serotypes

The /3-D-glucopyranans of Candida albicans serotype B and Candida parapsilosis are mainly linear, with only 10% of branch points, and contain, principally, (l- 6) linkages (67 and 63%, respectively).59...

In 1965, an important modification of the chemical structure of bakers yeast mannan was made by Ballou and his co-workers. They pointed out that the longest branching moieties of this mannan correspond to a tetraose, 0-orD-mannopyranosyl (1 - 3) 0-(x-D-mannopyranosyl (1- 2) O-oc-o-mannopyranosyl (l->2) mannose (23). In 1967, the Canadian workers and Hasenclever published the modified findings of structural analysis of the mannan of several Candida strains including those of C. albicans serotype A, C. albicans serotype B, C. tropicalis, C. stellatoidea, and C. parapsilosis, affording evidence that all mannans contain small amounts of al->3 linked D-mannopyranosyl residues in addition to the large amounts of al->2 and ocl->6 linkages (24). ... 

The mannans isolated from Candida albicans strains, NIH A-207 (serotype A), NIH B-792 (serotype B), and J-1012 (serotype C), were fractionated on a column of DEAE-Sephadex into five subfractions containing different amounts of phosphate.
