EXTRACELLULAR POLYSACCHARYDES OF YEASTS’ CRYPTOCOCCUS ALBIDUS (SAITO) SKINNER

Abstract

It was studied the monosaccharide composition of extracellular polysaccharide preparations of yeasts C. albidus UCM U-1028, UCM U-1063 and UCM U-1066, with mannose (up to 67 %) as dominating carbohydrates. It was selected the strain C. albidus UCM U-1066 in the extracellular polysaccharides structure in which mannose (58 %), glucose (21 %) and xylose (16 %), prevailed. The received preparation can be used in further as the sorbent of mycotoxins as the making part of fodder additives.
