✦ Synopsis

The water-soluble cell-wall polysaccharides isolated from strains CBS 352.72 and 310.38 of Talaromyces j7avus have been investigated by chemical analyses and NMR studies. Two different skeletons coexist, having the structures: [ -6) -P-D-Galf-(1 -D 5)+-D-Galf-(1 + 1, 2 1 a-D-Glcp-(1 -+ 2)-o-n-Galf and [ + 6) -o-D-Manp-(1 + 1, F 1 cu-D-Galf The small differences between the polysaccharides isolated from both strains are probably due to slight diminution of branching in strain 352.72, as compared with strain 310.38.
