Polysaccharides from Polyporus giganteus.

Abstract
Two water-soluble polysaccharides have been Isolated from fruit bodies of Polyporus giganteus. One is an [alpha]-glucan of the glycogen type with an average total chain length of 8[long dash]9 glucose residues and an average interior chain length of 2[long dash]3 residues. The other polysaccharide consists of chains of (1[forward arrow] 6)-[beta]-linked D-galactopyranose residues, every second or third of which is substituted in the 2-position by a 3-0-[beta]-D-mannopyranosy1-[beta]-L-fucopyranosyl residue.
