Nat Prod Commun. 2016 Oct;11(10):1481-1484.

Abstract

This paper reports the isolation and chemical and biological characterization of exopolysaccharides produced by phytopathogenic fungi belonging to different genera and inducing various diseases on grapevine. Their role in the phytopathogenic processes is also discussed.
