Metabolic synergies in the biotransformation of organic and metallic toxic compounds by a saprotrophic soil fungus.

abstract：:α-Galacto-oligosaccharides (α-GOS) are produced by transgalactosylation reactions of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) or by conversion of raffinose family oligosaccharides by levansucrase. Similarly to β-GOS, α-GOS have the potential to mimic glycan receptors on eukaryotic cells and act as molecular decoys to prevent bacterial...
