โฆ Synopsis
Lytic digestion of poly(mannuronate), poly(guluronate1, and alginate with an alginate lyase from Alteromonas maclwdii was used to prepare mixtures of unsaturated oligosaccharides. Four oligosaccharides isolated from the alginate lyase-lysate by anion-exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose were found to be the major components of the root growth-promoting lysate. The oligosaccharides were analyzed by NMR and SIMS and identified as di-and tri-saccaharides having O-(4-deoxy-L-erythro-hex-4-enopyranosyluonic acid)-1 + at the nonreducing terminus. The trisaccharides from the lysate were found to have root growth-promoting activity in a barley bioassay.
