Excerpt

Fungi are fascinating organisms that have been instrumental in defining the fundamental processes of glycosylation. This chapter describes the glycan structures of these diverse organisms and their synthesis, offers some insights into glycobiology revealed through studying fungal systems, and delineates the relationships of several important glycoconjugates to fungal biology and pathogenesis.
