The polysaccharide of peach gum, prepared by a partial acid hydrolysis, was degraded by a mixture of extracellular glacanohydrolases of Aspergillus flavus. This way obtained polysaccharide differed from the original one especially by a higher content of D-mannose and a lower content of D-galactose bound by (1 3) glycosidic bonds. The obtained results are discussed from the standpoint of composition of the main and side chains of the native polysaccharide.

An extracellular acidic polysaccharide, elaborated by Bacilluspolymyxa, was composed of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, and D-glucuronic acid (approximate molar ratio of 4:3:1:1). Methylation and fragmentation analysis by partial acid hydrolysis indicated that the polysaccharide had a complicated, highly branched structure, consisting mainly of β(1 → 3) and (1 → 4) D-glycosidic linkages. The backbone chain containing D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-glucuronic acid residues is attached at the C-4, C-3, and C-4 positions, respectively, one out of every three glucose residues being substituted at the C-2 position to form two kinds of branches at the C-2 and C-4 positions, with side chains of single or a few carbohydrate units that are terminated by D-glucose and (or) D-mannose residues. Keywords: acidic polysaccharide, Bacilluspolymyxa.

Glucomannans have been isolated from the wood of eastern white pine (Pinusstrobus L.) by two different methods, the ratios of mannose to glucose being 3.8:1 and 2.7:1, respectively. The yields, based on the mannose content of the wood, were 70 and 50%. Partial acid hydrolysis gave 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-D-mannose, 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-D-glucose, 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannose, 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucose, O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-(l → 4)-D-mannose, and O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-(l → 4)-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-(l → 4)-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-(l → 4)-D-mannose. The fully methylated polysaccharide on hydrolysis gave a mixture of di-O-methylhexoses, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose, and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylhexose (mostly mannose) in a mole ratio of 4:61:21:1. The number-average degrees of polymerization of the methylated and the nitrated glucomannans were 96 and 93. On the basis of this and other evidence it is concluded that the glucomannan contains at least 90 mannose and glucose residues linked together by (1 → 4)-β-glycosidic bonds to linear macromolecules. The nature and relative composition of the oligosaccharides obtained on partial hydrolysis indicate that very few of the glucose residues are contiguous. The glucomannan is compared with similar polysaccharides from the wood of other gymnosperms.

Partial acid hydrolysis of an arabinogalactan from tamarack wood yielded:(I) L-arabinose,(II) D-galactose,(III) 3-O-β-L-arabinopyranosyl-L-arabinose,(IV) 6-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose,(V) 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose,(VI) O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 6)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 6)-D-galactose,(VII) 3,6-di-O-(galactopyranosyl)-D-galactopyranose,(VIII) O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 3)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 3)-D-galactose,(IX) O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 6)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 3)-D-galactose,(X) O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 6)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 6)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 3)-D-galactose,(XI) O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 6)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 3)-O-D-galactopyranosyl(1 → 3)-D-galactose.A previously published structure for the tamarack polysaccharide was revised to show that not more than two consecutive 1 → 3 or 1 → 6 linkages respectively were present in the main core of the repeating unit. Some of the 6-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose units occurred as side chains as well as in the main body of the molecule.

A galactomannan, isolated in 3.2% yield from the seeds of Indigofera spicata (Leguminosae), has been shown to consist of D-galactose and D- mannose in the ratio of 1 : 1.82. End group determination by methylation showed 35.5%, in excellent agreement with the result revealed by the periodate method. Partial acid hydrolysis, indicated that the galactose was linked a to the 6-position of the mannose units. The polysaccharide would appear to contain a linear backbone of (1→4) β-D-manno-pyranose units with side-chains of α-D-galactopyranose units attached to C6 of approximately five out of every nine D-mannopyranose units.

A glucuronomannan (AA-4-H, Mw around 4 KDa) was prepared from the fruit bodies of Auricularia auricala by extraction with hot water, deproteination by Sevag reagent, stepwise precipitation with ethanol and partial acid hydrolysis. Monosaccharides analysis revealed that AA-4-H consisted of 91% mannose (Man) and 9% glucuronic acid (GlcA). FT-IR, NMR and methylation analyses indicated that AA-4-H is a branched glucuronomannan. Its main chains are composed of 1, 3-linked α-Man p, side chains are single α-Man p or α-GlcA residues attached to the O-2 and O-6 of Man residues of the main chains. Bioassay indicated that AA-4-H remarkably enhanced B lymphocyte proliferation and increased the production of nitric oxide of macrophages in vitro. Thus, glucuronomannan AA-4-H could be explored as a potential immunostimulation agent.

Three lysinonorleucine peptides were isolated from mature porcine aorta elastin after enzymic digestions and partial acid hydrolysis. The structural investigations which were performed suggest that different regions containing lysinonorleucine may exist. The role of this cross-link in mature elastin is discussed.
