Polysaccharides fungi, structural chemistry

An article by Barreto-Bergter (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Gorin (Saskatoon, Canada) likewise invokes strong emphasis on n.m.r. methods for structure determination, in this instance by use of carbon-13 techniques in delineating the structural chemistry of polysaccharides from fungi and lichens. 

Structural Chemistry of Polysaccharides from Fungi and Lichens, E. Barreto-Bergter and P. A. J. Gorin, Adv. Carbohydr. Chem. Biochem., 41 (1983) 68-104. 

An increasing interest is being shown in the polysaccharides of fungi. In particular, chemistry and biochemistry of the intra-or exo-cellular polysaccharides have been studied by several workers. The relationship between taxonomy and chemical structure of fungal polysaccharides is an interesting subject. Cell wall chemistry and taxonomy of fungi were reviewed by Bartnicki-Garcia...
