Congratulations Alex for the publication of your new article "Microwave pretreatment of paramylon enhances the enzymatic production of soluble β-1,3-glucans with immunostimulatory activity" Published in Carbohydrate Polymers. The article describe the development of a new combined physical and enzymatic approach for the hydrolysis of the storage polysaccharide paramylon from Euglena. The work also presents a new simple, sensitive and time-saving dye-based method to assess t
