Abstract
Our research group has worked on physical and biological characterization of a lectin from P. brasiliensis, called paracoccin, which plays important role in the biology and pathogenicity of the fungus. Previously, it was shown that paracoccin is present on the yeast surface, predominantly in the budding regions (Coltri et al., 2006). Additionally, this lectin has N-acetylglucosaminidase a…
