Pullulan is a polysaccharide consisting of maltotriose units, also known as α-1,4- ;α-1,6-glucan'. Three glucose units in maltotriose are connected by an α-1,4 glycosidic bond, whereas consecutive maltotriose units are connected to each other by an α-1,6 glycosidic bond. Pullulan is produced from starch by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans.
Aureobasidium pullulans is a ubiquitous and generalistic black, yeast-like fungus that can be found in different environments (e.g. soil, water, air and limestone). It is well known as a naturally occurring epiphyte or endophyte of a wide range of plant species (e.g. apple, grape, cucumber, green beans, cabbage) without causing any symptoms of disease. [1]
Pullulan can be used as a scaffold material for stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells. [1] Pullulan can be conjugated with photosensitive molecules in order to be used with photodynamic therapy. [1] Pullulan can be modified to be a contrast agent for MRI in multiple ways such as oxidation, iron-oxide conjugates, and cation conjugates. [1]
