Abstract
A streptomycete strain (FERM-P1185), isolated from soil, secreted a slime on glucose-asparagine agar and produced viscous growth in liquid media containing peptone as N source. A purified polysaccharide isolated from the culture broth was composed of glucose and mannose units (molar ratio 1.87:1). Periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation analysis, IR and 13C NMR spectra indicated that this mannoglucan had a linear structure consisting of .alpha.-1,3- and .alpha.-1,4-linked glucopyranose and mannopyranose units.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
