Carbohydrases and their role in the biology of pathogenic fungi.

Pathogenic fungi form different carbohydrases belonging to exo- and endo-types mostly. There is a wider range of glycanases of pathogenic and facultatively pathogenic fungi which are capable of living in the free nature. The role of carbohydrases as aggressive factors of the corresponding agents of mycotic processes is increasing under a pronounced disbalance of carbohydrates in macroorganisms.
