This study mainly evaluated the effects of orally administered beta 1,3/1,6-glucan and vitamin C on the nonspecific immune responses of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). In this study, we found that the white shrimp oral administration with 1 g/kg of beta 1,3/1,6-glucan effectively enhanced O2(-) production and phenoloxidase and superoxide dismutase activity. Shrimp were oral administration with 0.2 g/kg of vitamin C presented beneficial nonspecific immune responses and enzyme activity and also observed in the beta 1,3/1,6-glucan treatment groups. Consequently, we compared the alterations in the immune activity between the beta 1,3/1,6-glucan and vitamin C groups and the evidence illustrated that combination of beta 1,3/1,6-glucan and vitamin C presented an additive effect on inducing the nonspecific immune responses of white shrimp.

β-D-glucan has significant implications in regulating lipid metabolism and preventing diseases associated with lipid accumulation. Schizophyllan (SPG) from Schizophyllum commune fungus is a commercially important β-glucan with applications in the health food industry, pharmacy, and cosmetics. However, SPG was obtained by submerged culture of the wood-rotting and filamentous fungus S.

Cyclic β-(1→3),(1→6) glucans (CBGs) isolated from Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteria are the periplasmic oligosaccharides having cyclic structures. This paper presents the isolation of CBGs from the bacteria cultured using optimized medium that improved yields to 350-450 mg per gram of cellular dry weight along with analytical interaction with lead(II) ions in the range 33.0-2.

This article contains two-dimensional (2D) NMR experimental data, obtained by the Bruker BioSpin 500 MHz NMR spectrometer (Germany) which can used for the determination of primary structures of schizophyllan from (SPG) and a water-soluble β-(1→3, 1→6)-glucan from . Data include analyzed the 2D NMR spectra of these β-glucans, which are related to the subject of an article in , entitled "NMR spectroscopic structural characterization of a water-soluble β-(1→3, 1→6)-glucan from " (Kono et al., 2017) [1].
