Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Polyols in the mycelia (or vegetative cells) of 27 species, including representatives from each of the major classes of fungi, were analyzed using thin-layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, and gas chromatography to confirm that Oomycetes lack sugar alcohols.

TL;DR: The temporal depletion and accumulation of polyols were investigated in the fungus Geotrichum candidum and it was found that ethanol-soluble carbohydrate believed to be primarily trehalose was temporally similar to that of mannitol.
Abstract: The temporal depletion and accumulation of polyols were investigated in the fungus Geotrichum candidum. The major intracellular polyols were tentatively identified by paper chromatography as mannitol and arabitol. Inositol was also present in small quantities, and trehalose was also detected in appreciable concentrations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed to add a sugar alcohol to a human γ-globulin solution to suppress the production of the aggregation in order to stabilize the γ globulin pharmaceutical.
Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a highly safe and intravenously injectable γ-globulin pharmaceutical, by adding a sugar alcohol to a human γ-globulin solution. CONSTITUTION: A γ-globulin pharmaceutical is obtained by adding a sugar alcohol, e.g., erythritol, xylitol, arabitol, mannitor or sorbitol, to a human γ-globulin solution. The sugar alcohols have the actions of dissociating γ-globulin aggregation included in the γ-globulin and suppressing the production of the aggregation to stabilize the γ-globulin pharmaceutical, and these actions are more powerful than those of sugars such as glucose. Therefore, crude γ-globulin having a higher anticomplementary value can also be used as the material, and particularly a lyophilized γ-globulin pharmaceutical can also be produced because of the improved storage stability thereof.
