Mycodextranase is a fungal alpha-glucan endoglycosidase that endohydrolyses (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in alpha-D-glucans containing both (1->3)- and (1->4)-bonds, giving nigerose and 4-alpha-D-nigerosylglucose as products, and does not hydrolyse alpha-D-glucans containing only 1,3- or only 1,4-bonds. By cutting the alternating-linkage fungal alpha-glucan it supports microbial turnover of fungal cell-wall nigeran.
