โฆ Synopsis
The major fraction of rhamnogalactan was isolated from the cell wall of Bifidobacterium longum YIT4028 by treatment with N-acetylmuramidase. This polysaccharide was composed of rhanmose and galactose in a molar ratio of about 2 : 3. The 13C NMR spectrum indicated that it contained a pentasaccharides repeating unit. This observation, and the results of Smith degradation, partial acid hydrolysis and methylation analysis led to the conclusion that its structure is โข --~2)-.et-I.

The neutral polysaccharide isolated from the fruits of Cord& dichotoma was separated into two fractions, I and II, by gel filtration using Sephadex G-100. The major fraction, II, was found to contain D-glucose and L-arabinose in the molar ratio of 21:4. The results of complete hydrolysis with acid,
The purified polysaccharide isolated from the cambium layer of a young bael (Aegle marmefos) tree contains galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, and glucose in the molar ratios of 10.0 : 9.8 : 1.4 : 1.9 : 1. Methylation analysis and Smith degradation studies established the linkages of the differe
Rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I), a pectic polysaccharide isolated from the walls of suspension-cultured sycamore cells, was shown by glycosyl-residue composition analysis to contain D-glucosyluronic acid (GlcpA) residues (1 mol%) and 4-O-methyl-D-glucosyluronic acid (4-O-Me-GlcpA) residues (0.5 mol%). T
