DE   beta-galactofuranoside beta-1,5-galactofuranosyltransferase.
CA   a beta-D-galactofuranoside + UDP-alpha-D-galactofuranose = a beta-D-Galf-
CA   (1->5)-beta-D-galactofuranoside + UDP + H(+).
CC   -!- Requires Mn(2+).
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the flilamentous fungi Aspergillus
CC       nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus, participates in the synthesis of
CC       fungal-type galactomannan and O-mannose-type galactomannan, which are
CC       embedded in the fungal cell walls.
CC   -!- While the reaction shown here describes the transfer of one
CC       galactofuransyl residue, the enzyme can add up to 5 more
CC       galactofuranosyl residues.
