Galactofuranose-containing molecules have been repeatedly shown to be important
antigens among human fungal pathogens, including Aspergillus fumigatus. Immunogenic …

Galactofuranose is a hexose that is exclusively found in microbes and in particular in certain
pathogenic species. In the mold Aspergillus fumigatus, it is the characteristic constituent of …

O-linked oligosaccharide groups ranging from di-to hexasaccharide were β-eliminated by
mild alkaline treatment under reducting conditions from the peptidogalactomannan of …

Galactomannans (GM) are widely distributed polysaccharides amongst plant and
microorganisms. In plants, mainly legumes, they are reserve polysaccharides composed of …

Great progresses have been made in the recent years in the detection of circulating
galactofuranose-bearing molecules for the diagnosis of aspergillosis. However, the test …

Galactofuranose is a major carbohydrate in Aspergillus fumigatus. It became famous in
medical mycology as being part of the galactomannan which was shown 30 years ago to be …
