In vitro-Einbau von 14C-Hexose-6-phosphat in Mannan, β-Glucan und Glycogen bei Candida spec. H und ihren Mutanten

Mannose-6-p is an activator of the 14C-mannose incorporation from GDP-¹⁴C-mannose in the mono- and oligosaccharides and in the mannopolymers of the cell wall proteophosphomannan produced by the food protein yeast Candida spec. H. Moreover, mannose-6-p is a precursor of proteophosphomannan: ¹⁴C-Mannose-6-p has been incorporated in absense of GTP. Corresponding behaviour shows glucose-6-p by synthesis of β-glucan and glycogen. Mutants of Candida spec. H with different efficiency in the biosynthesis of mannan, β-glucan and glycogen incorporate hexose-6-p in a different extent.
