Fungal cell-wall galactomannans isolated from Geotrichum spp. and their teleomorphs, Dipodascus and Galactomyces

Carbohydr Res. 2002 Nov 19;337(21-23):2347-51. doi: 10.1016/s0008-6215(02)00293-8.

Abstract

The alkali-extracted water-soluble galactomannan F1SS isolated from the cell wall of two species each of Geotrichum, Galactomyces, and Dipodascus have been studied by methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy, and their structure is established as the following: [carbohydrate structure: see text]
