Abstract
The proteophosphomannan (PPM) obtained by extraction with citrate buffer, purification by the cetavlon method and gelfiltration contains a high proportion of diesterfied phosphate groups between the C‐6 of a side chain mannose and another glycosidically bound carbohydrate. Mild acid hydrolysis cleaved the phosphate diester linkages to yield mono‐ and oligosaccharide fractions. Chemical analysis and ^1^H‐NMR studies demonstrated the heterogeneity of the oligosaccharide fractions containing α(1,2)‐, α(1,3)‐ and α(1,6)‐linked manno‐oligosaccharides. All repeated PPM preparations contained mono‐, tri‐ and heptasaccharides as the phosphate bound main compounds. Galactose, arabinose, fucose, and rhamnose of the monosaccharide fraction and tetra‐, penta‐ and hexasaccharides were not found in all preparations.
