- The decomposition of ectomycorrhizal fungal necromass (2016, background): “EM fungi, which are primarily members of the Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, have cell walls that are composed of b-glucans, chitin, proteins and melanins, along with other minor components (Wessels, 1994; Bowman and Free, 2006; Feofilova, 2010).”
- Physico-Mechanical and Thermodynamic Properties of Mycelium-Based Biocomposites: A Review (2019, background): “Aside from H-bonds, chitin has been reported to be covalently bonded to polysaccharides and thus to peptides [56,57].”
- Dectin-2 recognition of alpha-mannans and induction of Th17 cell differentiation is essential for host defense against Candida albicans. (2010, background): “This is probably because b-glucans and chitins are located inside of the fungal cell wall (Bowman and Free, 2006).”
- Removal of hexavalent chromium by heat inactivated fungal biomass of Termitomyces clypeatus: Surface characterization and mechanism of biosorption (2011, background): “The cell wall of fungi is composed typically of chitin (a long linear homopolymer of beta1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine), glucan, mannan, proteins and other polymers [18] that possess carboxyl, phosphoryl, hydroxyl, amino, amine and imidazole functional groups at the surface.”
- Comparison of novel fungal mycelia strains and sustainable growth substrates to produce humidity-resistant biocomposites (2020, background): “9 imidazole functional groups have also been detected on the surface [28, 29].”
- The Jmjd3-Irf4 axis regulates M2 macrophage polarization and host responses against helminth infection (2010, background): “Jmjd3 is needed for M2 polarization to chitin Chitin is a polymerized sugar and a structural component of helminths, arthropods and fung”
