Abstract:
The structure of two cell-wall polysaccharides isolated from three different strains of Penicillium expansum, the type species of the genus, have been established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and also by methylation analyses. The water-soluble polysaccharide F1S-B consisted of a linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure: [-->6)-beta-D-Galf-(1-->5)-beta-D-Galf-(1-->5)-beta-D-Gal f-(1-->5)-beta-D- Galf-(1-->]n The alkali-soluble polysaccharide F1I is a (1-->3)-alpha-D-glucan.
