โฆ Synopsis
The major, water-soluble polysaccharide isolated from the sclerotia of Omphalia lapidescens, and purified by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Toyopearl HW-65F, is a heteroglycan (OL-3), [alpha]D20 - 50 degrees (c 1, water), which is composed of D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, and D-glucuronic acid in the molar ratios 1.21:1.00:1.38. Methylation analysis, partial acid hydrolysis, and f.a.b.-m.s. of the hydrolysates indicated OL-3 to have a highly branched structure involving (1----3)-, (1----4)-, (1----6)-, and (1----3,6)-linked, and non-reducing terminal D-glucopyranosyl residues, and also to contain 2 acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-beta-D- glucopyranosyluronic acid and beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl -(1----4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid segments.

Four novel sesquiterpenes of protoilludane origin, divaricatines A 3a and B 3b, 7-epitsugicoline H 4a and tsugicoline M 5a have been isolated from agar cultures of the fungus Clavicorona divaricata (Basidiomycetes). Their structures were elucidated by means of NMR studies and chemical correlations.
Methylation analysis indicated that IN and IIN also contained high-molecular-weight 6-linked galactan and 4-linked glucan, and that IA and IIA consisted mainly of 2-linked Rha, 4-linked GalA, and terminal and 6-linked Gal. IIA contained more 2-linked Rha than IA. Endo-a-o-( l-\*4)-polygalacturonase
