What method would you suggest for extracting polysaccharides from the chitinous cell wall of bracket fungi with a dimitic hyphal system?

04 April 2018 1 10K Report

I'm interested in obtaining glucans fractions, mannans and glycoproteins from Phellinus.

If you were to use the fractions as test substances to living cells, try to optimize an aqueous extraction method to use.

I found these article that might provide you with some insights:

Also, check this flowchart for you to have a general overview of metabolite extraction from plants and fungi:
