The structure of the mannan of Candida albicans NIH A-207 strain (serotype A) was investigated by adopting mild acetolysis followed by enzymolysis with an Arthrobacter GJM-1 exo-alpha-mannosidase. The resultant oligosaccharides, from pentaose to octaose (where manp = D-mannopyranose), were identified as manp beta (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp, manp beta (1----2)manp beta (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)- manp alpha (1----2)manp, manp beta (1----2)manp beta (1----2)manp beta (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp and manp beta (1----2)manp beta (1----2)manp beta (1----2)manp beta (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp alpha (1----2)manp, respectively. Analyses of alpha-linked oligosaccharides obtained by acetolysis under conventional conditions gave the same oligosaccharides, from biose to heptaose, as those obtained from the mannans of C. albicans NIH B-792 (serotype B) and J-1012 (serotype A, formerly serotype C).

We investigated the cell-wall mannan obtained from Candida tropicalis IFO 1647 strain cells grown in yeast extract-Sabouraud medium at pH 3.0 by two-dimensional homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn spectroscopy. The results indicate that the phosphate group and the side chains containing a beta-1,2-linked mannopyranose unit decreased compared to those of mannan from cells grown under conventional conditions (pH 5.

We conducted a structural analysis of the cell wall mannan-protein complex (mannan) isolated from a pathogenic yeast, Candida glabrata IFO 0622 strain. The chemical structure of mannobiose released from this mannan by treatment with 10 mM HCl at 100 degrees C for 1 h was identified as Manp beta 1-2Man. The treatment of this mannan with 100 mM NaOH at 25 degrees C for 18 h gave a mixture of alpha-1,2- and alpha-1,3-linked oligosaccharides, from tetraose to biose, and mannose.

In order to identify the branches containing both beta-1,2 and alpha-1,2 linkages as the serotype A-specific epitope(s) in the mannans of Candida albicans, serotype A strains with oligosaccharides constituting the beta-1,2 linkage, the alpha-1,2 linkage, and both the beta-1,2 and the alpha-1,2 linkages were prepared from the mannans of C. albicans serotype A strains (NIH A-207 and J-1012) and tested for their inhibitory effects in the precipitin and slide agglutination assays. The results indicated that two oligosaccharides containing both beta-1,2 and alpha-1,2 linkages, Manp beta 1-2Manp alpha 1-2Manp alpha 1-2Manp alpha 1-2Man and Manp beta 1-2Manp beta 1-2Manp alpha 1-2Manp alpha 1-2Manp alpha 1-2Man, served as epitopes participating in the serotype A specificity of C.

Structural analysis of the phosphomannan isolated from yeast-form cells of a pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans J-1012 strain, was conducted. Treatment of this phosphomannan (Fr. J) with 10 mM HCl at 100 degrees C for 60 min gave a mixture of beta-1,2-linked manno-oligosaccharides, from tetraose to biose plus mannose, and an acid-stable mannan moiety (Fr.

Upon treatment with 10 mM HCl at 100 degrees C for 1 h, this complex released mannotriose and mannotetraose consisting solely of 1,2-linked beta-D-mannopyranosyl residues, ca. 20% on weight basis of the parent complex.
