Separation methods isolate glucans and melanins in wood-destroying fungi, indicating potential applications.
Water-soluble and alkali-soluble polysaccharides have been isolated from the basidiomycete fungus Ganoderma lucidum (class Basidiomycetes). It has been established that the obtained aqueous and alkaline fractions mainly consist of glucan polysaccharides and melanins and are represented by a melanin-glucan complex. Methods have been developed for separating and purifying the melanin-glucan complex to a separate fraction of melanins and beta-glucans. The physicochemical properties of the obtained samples have been studied, and the purity of the obtained melanin and polysaccharide fractions has been established using UV spectroscopy. Based on the obtained results, it has been shown that melanin in the polysaccharide fraction was
