AI Article Synopsis
- The study involved extracting whole cells and purified cell walls of Sporothrix schenckii using different solvents.
- The extraction led to the identification of main sugars like mannose, glucose, rhamnose, and galactose, which varied based on the solvent used.
- These polysaccharides have potential as antigens for diagnosing sporotrichosis and monitoring the disease's progression.
Article Abstract
The whole cells and purified cell walls of Sporothrix schenckii were extracted with various solvents. Using hydrolysis, the fractions obtained afforded mannose, glucose, rhamnose as main sugars, and galactose. The repartition of polysaccharides was different according to the solvent used. These polysaccharides could be used as antigens for diagnosis and to follow the evolution of the sporotrichosis.
