Characterization of Glycoproteinaceous Metabolites from the Xylotrophic Basidiomycete Lentinus edodes under Submerged and Surface Cultivation

The exo- and endoglycopolymers of the fungus L. edodes were found to be glycoproteins  that, by  their monomeric  composition, were hete- roglycans  with glucose as  the predominant monomer. The structure of the exo- and endoglycoproteins formed by the fungus was found to depend to some extent on the cultivation method used. The carbohy­ drate moieties  of the exo- and endoglycoproteins  were represented by  branched glycans  containing a- and 0-glycosidic  links.
