title: Polysaccharides from fruitbodies and mycelial culture of the fungus Trametes hirsuta (Wulf. ex Fr.) Lloyd.
abstract: The fruitbodies and mycelial culture of the wood destroying fungus Trametes hirsuta (Wulf. ex Fr.) Lloyd were investigated as a source of polysaccharides. Four different polysaccharide fractions were isolated from these sources with the good yield 4.76% (PfA) and 1.18% (PfB)--(fruitbodies) and 2.33% (PmcA), 3.25% (PmcB)--(mycelium) respectively. Some chemical differences were found in the composition of isolated polysaccharides. Some of them contained aminoacids as the structural components, especially those isolated from mycelial culture of the fungus. In all polysaccharide fractions glucose was present as a main monosugar.
