Methylation-fragmentation analyses were conducted on a series of extracellular, yeast α-D-linked mannans representing six different structural types. D-Mannans of low degree of branching were produced by Hansenula capsulata strains and by species related to H. holstii. The former consisted primarily of (1→2)- and (1→6)-linked D-mannosyl residues; the latter, of (1→2)-and (1→3)-linked D-mannosyl residues. Although the remaining structural types were highly branched, each gave distinct methylation-patterns indicative of (1→6)-linked backbones to which are appended non-(1→6)-linked side-chains. Acetolysis studies were correlated with the methylation analyses, and the correlation demonstrated that each branched polymer possesses side chains of heterogeneous length. 相似文献

An acid-extractable, water-soluble, polysaccharide sulphate, isolated from Padina pavonia, comprised variable proportions of glucuronic acid, galactose, glucose, mannose, xylose, and fucose in addition to a protein moiety. Partial acid hydrolysis and autohydrolysis of the free acid polysaccharide yielded several oligosaccharides. Evidence from periodate oxidation studies indicated that the inner polysaccharide portion is composed of (1 → 4)-linked β-D-glucuronic acid, (1 → 4)-linked β-D-mannose and (1 → 4)-linked β-D-glucose residues. The heteropolymeric partially sulphated exterior portion is attached to the inner part and comprises various ratios of (1 → 4)-linked β-D-galactose, β-D-galactose-3-sulphate residues, (1 → 4)-linked β-D-glucose residues, (1 → 2)-linked α-L-fucose 4-sulphate residues and (1 → 3)-linked β-D-xylose residues. 相似文献

Family 70 glycoside hydrolase glucansucrase enzymes exclusively occur in lactic acid bacteria and synthesize a wide range of α-d-glucan (abbreviated as α-glucan) oligo- and polysaccharides. Of the 47 characterized GH70 enzymes, 46 use sucrose as glucose donor. A single GH70 enzyme was recently found to be inactive with sucrose and to utilize maltooligosaccharides [(1→4)-α-d-glucooligosaccharides] as glucose donor substrates for α-glucan synthesis, acting as a 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (4,6-αGT) enzyme. Here, we report the characterization of two further GH70 4,6-αGT enzymes, i.e., from Lactobacillus reuteri strains DSM 20016 and ML1, which use maltooligosaccharides as glucose donor. Both enzymes cleave α1→4 glycosidic linkages and add the released glucose moieties one by one to the non-reducing end of growing linear α-glucan chains via α1→6 glycosidic linkages (α1→4 to α1→6 transfer activity). In this way, they convert pure maltooligosaccharide substrates into linear α-glucan product mixtures with about 50% α1→6 glycosidic bonds (isomalto/maltooligosaccharides). These new α-glucan products may provide an exciting type of carbohydrate for the food industry. The results show that 4,6-αGTs occur more widespread in family GH70 and can be considered as a GH70 subfamily. Sequence analysis allowed identification of amino acid residues in acceptor substrate binding subsites +1 and +2, differing between GH70 GTF and 4,6-αGT enzymes. 相似文献

A galactoglucomannan has been isolated by fractionation of the alkali-soluble hemicelluloses of the leaf and stem tissues of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). The hemicellulose contains galactose, glucose, and mannose residues in the molar ratios 0.25:1.0:1.1 and accounts for ca. 25% of the mannose residues present in the clover tissues. Structural studies showed that the hemicellulose has a main chain of β-(1→4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl and D-mannopyranosyl residues, to which are attached α-(1→6)-linked D-galactopyranosyl residues. 相似文献

Reactions of (1→4)- and (1→6)-linked disaccharides, mainly of maltose and isomaltose, with the Fenton reagent under physiological conditions were studied. Chemical characterization of oxidation products was conducted by g.l.c. and g.l.c.-m.s. of their trimethylsilyl derivatives, and the results demonstrated that (1→6)-linked disaccharides are more reactive with the hydroxyl radical (·OH) generated by the Fenton reagent than (1→4)-linked disaccharides. About 35–40% of (1→6)-and 15–20% of (1→4)-linked disaccharides were oxidatively degraded to smaller molecules after incubation for 24 h. Of the four disaccharides examined, namely, maltose, isomaltose, cellobiose, and gentiobiose, the α-(1→6)-linked disaccharide isomaltose exhibited the highest reactivity, whereas the β-(1→4)-linked disaccharide cellobiose showed the lowest. These results suggest the existence of a relationship between the configuration of the glycosidic linkage and the reactivity with ·OH in aqueous solution. 相似文献

β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-lactosaminide) and β-d-Gal-(1 → 6)-β-d-GlcNAc-OC6H4NO2-p (p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-isolactosaminide) were regioselectively synthesized from lactose and p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glucopyranoside, employing transglycosylation by the β-d-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans and by controlling the concentration of organic solvent in the reaction system. The (1 → 4)-linked disaccharide was formed exclusively when the concentration of organic solvent was high, whereas the (1 → 6)-linked isomer was produced with a low concentration. Further utilization of the transglycosylation by the enzyme led to the regioselective formation of β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-d-GalNAc and β-d-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-d-GalNAc-OC6H4NO2-p. With the enzyme, β-d-galactosyl transfer occurred preferentially at the O-4 position of GlcNAc and GalNAc, regardless of the configuration of the hydroxyl group. 相似文献

Two classes of neutral polysaccharide which could not be separated from each other by conventional methods were isolated from the fungus, Lampteromyces japonicus, by affinity chromatography using concanavalin A-Sepharose. The polysaccharide retained on the concanavalin A-Sepharose column was eluted with 0.05 M methyl α-d-mannopyranoside and appeared to be α-mannan, while that which passed through the column was virtually all β-glucan.Both polysaccharides were subjected to Smith-type degradation, methylation, acetolysis and glucosidase treatment. The results indicated that the α-mannan contained predominantly α-(1 → 2)-linked side chains branching from an α-(1 → 6)-linked backbone at the (1 → 2,6)-linked mannopyranosyl residues. Galactose was attached to approximately one-quarter of the non-reducing mannose terminals. The β-glucan seemed to contain mainly (1 → 6)-linked side chains branching from a (1 → 3)-linked backbone at the (1 → 3,6)-linked glucopyranosyl residues. 相似文献

Sophora japonica lectin agglutinates human B erythrocytes strongly and A1 erythrocytes weakly. Bivalent metal ions such as Ca2+, Mn2+, or Mg2+ were shown to be essential for hemagglutinating and precipitating activities. At optimal concentrations of bivalent metal ions, hemagglutinating activity was highest between pH 8.5 and 9.0 and decreased sharply below pH 8.5, whereas precipitating capacity was maximal between pH 6.7 and 9.5. The combining site of the S. japonica lectin was explored by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays. This lectin showed substantial differences in precipitation with several blood group B substances ascribable to heterogeneity resulting from incomplete biosynthesis of their carbohydrate side chains. The lectin precipitated moderately well with A1 substance and precursor blood group I fractions (OG). It precipitated weakly or not at all with A2, H, or Lea substances. In inhibition assays, glycosides of dGalNAc were about five to six times better than those of dGal; dGalNAc itself was about six times better than dGal. Nitrophenyl glycosides were all substantially better than the methyl glycosides, indicating a hydrophobic contribution to the site subterminal to the nonreducing moiety. Although nitrophenyl β-glycosides were much better than the corresponding α-glycosides, the methyl α-and βDGalNAcp were equal in activity as were methyl α- and βDGalp. Among the oligosaccharides tested, the β-linked N-tosyl-l-serine glycoside of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc was best and was as active as p-nitrophenyl βDGalNAcp, whereas dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc α-N-tosyl serine and the nitrophenyl and phenyl α-glycosides of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc were much less active, suggesting that the hydrophobic moiety and/or a subterminal dGalNAc β-linked and substituted on carbon 3 play an important role in binding and that a β-linked glycoside of dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc may be an essential requirement for binding. The results of inhibition studies with other oligosaccharides indicate that a subterminal dGlcNAc substituted on carbon 3 or 4 by dGalβ may contribute somewhat to binding and that whether the dGlcNAc is linked β1 → 3 or β1 → 6 to a third sugar does not contribute to or interfere with binding. The β1 → 3 linkage of the terminal dGal to the subterminal amino sugar is significant since dGalβ1 → 4dGlcNAc was one-half as active as the corresponding β1 → 3-linked compound and the subterminal sugar must be unsubstituted for optimal binding. N-Acetyllactosamine was 50% more active than lactose, indicating that the subterminal N-acetamido group was also contributing significantly to binding. A variety of other sugars, glycosides, and oligosaccharides showed little or not activity. From the oligosaccharides available, the combining size of this lectin would appear to be least as large a β-linked disaccharide and most complementary to dGalβ1 → 3dGalNAc β-linked to tosyl-l-serine the most active compound tested. 相似文献

A previous investigation of the structure of the extracellular polysaccharide gum from the nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium strain cb744 (a member of the slow-growing Cowpea group) indicated that there were two β-(1→4)-linked d-glucopyranosyl residues for each α-(1→4)-linked d-mannopyranosyl residue, and that each mannose was substituted at O-6 by a β-d-galactopyranosyl residue having 71% of the galactose present as 4-O-methylgalactose. The present study shows that, although the gum appeared to have a simple tetrasaccharide repeating unit, it is composed of two closely associated components. One is a (1→4)-linked α-d-mannan substituted at each O-6 by a β-d-galactopyranosyl residue (71% 4-O-methylated). The second component is a (1→4)-linked β-d-glucan. The existence of the two polysaccharides was established by separation of the β-d-galactosidase-treated gum on a column of concanavalin A-Sepharose 4B. The d configurations were determined and the anomeric attribution of the linkages confirmed by the use of enzymes. The interaction between the two gum components is discussed. 相似文献

Inverting cellobiose phosphorylase (CtCBP) and cellodextrin phosphorylase (CtCDP) from Clostridium thermocellum ATCC27405 of glycoside hydrolase family 94 catalysed reverse phosphorolysis to produce cellobiose and cellodextrins in 57% and 48% yield from α-d-glucose 1-phosphate as donor with glucose and cellobiose as acceptor, respectively. Use of α-d-glucosyl 1-fluoride as donor increased product yields to 98% for CtCBP and 68% for CtCDP. CtCBP showed broad acceptor specificity forming β-glucosyl disaccharides with β-(1→4)- regioselectivity from five monosaccharides as well as branched β-glucosyl trisaccharides with β-(1→4)-regioselectivity from three (1→6)-linked disaccharides. CtCDP showed strict β-(1→4)-regioselectivity and catalysed linear chain extension of the three β-linked glucosyl disaccharides, cellobiose, sophorose, and laminaribiose, whereas 12 tested monosaccharides were not acceptors. Structure analysis by NMR and ESI-MS confirmed two β-glucosyl oligosaccharide product series to represent novel compounds, i.e. β-d-glucopyranosyl-[(1→4)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]n-(1→2)-d-glucopyranose, and β-d-glucopyranosyl-[(1→4)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]n-(1→3)-d-glucopyranose (n = 1–7). Multiple sequence alignment together with a modelled CtCBP structure, obtained using the crystal structure of Cellvibrio gilvus CBP in complex with glucose as a template, indicated differences in the subsite +1 region that elicit the distinct acceptor specificities of CtCBP and CtCDP. Thus Glu636 of CtCBP recognized the C1 hydroxyl of β-glucose at subsite +1, while in CtCDP the presence of Ala800 conferred more space, which allowed accommodation of C1 substituted disaccharide acceptors at the corresponding subsites +1 and +2. Furthermore, CtCBP has a short Glu496-Thr500 loop that permitted the C6 hydroxyl of glucose at subsite +1 to be exposed to solvent, whereas the corresponding longer loop Thr637–Lys648 in CtCDP blocks binding of C6-linked disaccharides as acceptors at subsite +1. High yields in chemoenzymatic synthesis, a novel regioselectivity, and novel oligosaccharides including products of CtCDP catalysed oligosaccharide oligomerisation using α-d-glucosyl 1-fluoride, all together contribute to the formation of an excellent basis for rational engineering of CBP and CDP to produce desired oligosaccharides. 相似文献

The initial acetolysis rates of several disaccharides were compared using an assay procedure which involves adding portions of the reaction mixture to an alkaline sodium borohydride solution. After reduction, glycosidically-linked hexose was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. For D-glucose disaccharides, β linkages were cleaved faster than α linkages, suggesting anchimeric assistance from the trans C-2 acetoxyl group. The acetolysis reaction rates for the various β-linked D-glucose disaccharides decreased in the order (1→6) ? (1→3) > (1→2) > (1»4). For the various α-linked disaccharides the order was (1→6) ? (1→4) > (1»3)> (1→2). The acetolysis rates for D-mannose disaccharides were in the order α-(1»6) ? α-(1→3) > β-(1»4) > α-(1»2). Turanose (3-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose) was cleaved at a much faster rate than either D-mannobiose or D-glucobiose with α-(1»2) or α-(1»3) linkages. A reaction mechanism is supported which features an acyclic intermediate, and, for certain -disaccharides, C-2 acetoxyl anchimeric assistance. 相似文献

The extracellular, acidic heteropolysaccharide from Xanthomonas S19 consists of D-glucuronic acid, D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose residues in the approximate molar ratios of 1.6:3:1:1, plus acetyl groups liked to C-2 and/or C-3 of a large proportion of the glucose residues. Methylation studies showed that the glucose is present as non-reducing end-group also as 1,2- and 1,4-linked units, the galactose residues are solely 1,3-linked, a major proportion of the mannose residues are 1,2,4-linked and the rest 1,2-linked. A high proportion of the glucuronic acid units are 1,4-linked. Periodate oxidation confirmed the presence of these linkages. The disaccharides D-Glc-(1→4)-D-Glc,D-Glc-(1→2)-D-Man, D-Glc-(1→3)-D-Gal, D-Gal-(1→2)-D-Glc, D-GlcA-(1→4)-D-GlcA, and β-D-GlcA-(1→4)-D-Man were isolated from a partial hydrolysate of the polysaccharide, and characterised. The similarities and differences between this polysaccharide and those from other Xanthomonas species are discussed. 相似文献

A unique, alkali-soluble polysaccharide has been isolated from the cell walls of the basidiomycete Coprinus macrorhizus microsporus. The polysaccharide, which is primarily a glucan, contains a large proportion of α-(1→4)-linked d-glucose residues and a smaller amount of β-(1→3) and (1→6) linkages, as suggested by methylation, partial acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, and enzymic studies. Hydrolysis of the methylated polysaccharide gave equimolar amounts of 2,4-di- and 2,3-di-O-methyl-d-glucose; no 2,6-di-O-methyl-d-glucose was identified, indicating the absence of branch points joined through O-1, O-3, and O-4. The isolation and identification of 2-O-α- glucopyranosylerythritol from the periodate-oxidized polysaccharide suggests that segments of the a-(1→4)-linked d-glucose residues are joined by single (1→3)-linkages. An extracellular enzyme-preparation from Sporotrichum dimorphosporum (QM 806) containing both β-(1→3)- and α-(1→4)-d-glucanohydrolase activity released 76% of the reducing groups from the polysaccharide. The polysaccharide also contains minor proportions of xylose, mannose, 2-amino-2-deoxyglucose, and amino acids. 相似文献

The polysaccharide of P. hymantophora has been shown to be composed of (1→4)-linked galactopyranosyl, (1→3)-linked galactopyranosyl, (1→3)-linked galactopyranosyl 2- and 4-sulphate and 2,6-disulphate residues. The (1→3)- and (1→4)-linked units are present in approximately equal amounts. The polysaccharide of P. hieroglyphica has been shown to possess (1→4)-linked galactopyranosyl, (1→3)-linked galactopyranosyl, and (1→3)-linked galactopyranosyl 2- and 4-sulphate residues. The (1→3)- and (1→4)-linked units are present in a 4:1 ratio. Both polysaccharides contain small proportions of non-reducing xylosyl end-groups. 相似文献

p-Nitrophenyl 2-O-α-d-galactopyranosyl-α-d-mannopyranoside and p-nitrophenyl 2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-α-d-mannopyranoside were synthesized and the interactions of these disaccharides with concanavalin A (con A) were characterized. The kinetics of binding of the galactopyranosyl-containing disaccharide to con A were found to be similar to those observed with monosaccharides in that monophasic time dependencies for binding were observed. The glucopyranosyl-containing disaccharide, however, exhibited biphasic time dependencies which were similar to those previously observed for the binding of p-nitrophenyl 2-O-α-d-mannopyranosyl-α-d-mannopyranoside to con A. These results support a model wherein the α-(1→2)-linked disaccharides which exhibit biphasic binding kinetics must be able to bind to con A in two different and mutually exclusive orientations. The ability to bind to con A in two orientations is shared by α-(1→2)-linked disaccharides in which both glycosyl residues can interact separately with the primary glycosyl binding site of con A. According to the model, the initial fast phase of the biphasic reaction reflects binding of the ligand in two orientations so that two complexes are formed in amounts determined by the relative values of the rate constants for formation of each complex. The subsequent slow phase is proposed to reflect a slow equilibration of the less stable complex to the thermodynamically more stable one. In the more stable complex, the glycosyl residue at the reducing end of the disaccharide occupies the primary glycosyl binding site. The added stability of this complex is attributed to extended interactions between con A and groups on the second glycosyl residue. An axial orientation of OH-2 of the second glycopyranosyl residue appears to be the most important determinant for the extended interaction. 相似文献

By definition, adhesion/growth-regulatory galectins are known for their ability to bind β-galactosides such as Galβ(1 → 4)Glc (lactose). Indications for affinity of human galectin-1 to α-linked digalactosides pose questions on the interaction profile with such bound ligands and selection of the galactose moiety for CH-π stacking. These issues are resolved by a combination of (15)N-(1)H heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) chemical shift and saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance (STD NMR) epitope mappings with docking analysis, using the α(1 → 3/4)-linked digalactosides and also Galα(1 → 6)Glc (melibiose) as test compounds. The experimental part revealed interaction with the canonical lectin site, and this preferentially via the non-reducing-end galactose moiety. Low-energy conformers appear to be selected without notable distortion, as shown by molecular dynamics simulations. With the α(1 → 4) disaccharide, however, the typical CH-π interaction is significantly diminished, yet binding appears to be partially compensated for by hydrogen bonding. Overall, these findings reveal that the type of α-linkage in digalactosides has an impact on maintaining CH-π interactions and the pattern of hydrogen bonding, explaining preference for the α(1 → 3) linkage. Thus, this lectin is able to accommodate both α- and β-linked galactosides at the same site, with major contacts to the non-reducing-end sugar unit. 相似文献

The structure of the extracellular polysaccharide gum from nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium sp. strain CB744 (a member of the slow-growing Cowpea group) has been investigated. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the alditol acetates of the acid hydrolysate showed the gum to be composed of galactose, 4-O-methylgalactose, mannose, and glucose in the molar ratio of 1:2.5:3.5:7.0. The polysaccharide is unusual in that it contains no carbonyl substituent, although such substituents are common amongst polysaccharides produced by the slow-growing group. The native and de-branched polysaccharides were examined by methylation analysis. The anomeric configurations were determined by 13C-n.m.r. and oxidation by chromium trioxide. It is concluded that there are two β-(1→4)-linked glycopyranosyl residues for each α-(1→4)-linked mannopyranosyl residue, and that each mannose is substituted at O-6 by a β-galactopyranosyl residue, with 71% of the galactose groups being present as 4-O-methylgalactose. 相似文献

Methylation analysis of water-insoluble α-D-glucans synthesized from sucrose by culture filtrates from several strains of Streptococcus spp. has proved that all of the glucans were highly branched and that the chains contained (1→6)- and (1→3)-linked D-glucose residues not involved in branch points. Hydrolysis of the glucans with a specific endo-(1→3)-α-D-glucanase demonstrated that the majority of the (1→3)-linked glucose residues were arranged in sequences. D-Glucose was the major product of the hydrolysis, and a small proportion of nigerose was also released. The use of a specific endo-(1→6)-α-D-glucanase similarly indicated that the glucans also contained sequences of (1→6)-linked α-D-glucose residues, and that those chains were branched. Two D-glucosyltransferases (GTF-S and GTF-I), which reacted with sucrose to synthesize a soluble glucan and a water-insoluble glucan, respectively, were separated from culture filtrates of S. mutans OMZ176. The soluble glucan was characterized as a branched (1→6)-α-D-glucan, whereas the insoluble one was a relatively linear (1→3)-α-D-glucan. The hypothesis is advanced that the glucosyltransferases can transfer glucan sequences by means of acceptor reactions similar to those proposed by Robyt for dextransucrase, leading to the synthesis of a highly branched glucan containing both types of chain. The resulting structure is consistent with the evidence obtained from methylation analysis and enzymic degradations, and explains the synergy displayed when the two D-glucosyltransferases interact with sucrose. Variations in one basic structure can account for the characteristics of water-insoluble glucans from S. sanguis and S. salivarius, and for the strain-dependent diversity of S. mutans glucans. 相似文献

Weissella confusa VTT E-90392 is an efficient producer of a dextran that is mainly composed of α-(1→6)-linked D-glucosyl units and very few α-(1→3) branch linkages. A mixture of the Chaetomium erraticum endodextranase and the Aspergillus niger α-glucosidase was used to hydrolyze W. confusa dextran to glucose and a set of enzyme-resistant isomaltooligosaccharides. Two of the oligosaccharides (tetra- and hexasaccharide) were isolated in pure form and their structures elucidated. The tetrasaccharide had a nonreducing end terminal α-(1→3)-linked glucosyl unit (α-D-Glcp-(1→3)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glc), whereas the hexasaccharide had an α-(1→3)-linked isomaltosyl side group (α-D-Glcp-(1→6)[α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→3)]-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glc). A mixture of two isomeric oligosaccharides was also obtained in the pentasaccharide fraction, which were identified as (α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→3)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glc) and (α-D-Glcp-(1→6)[α-D-Glcp-(1→3)]-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glcp-(1→6)-α-D-Glc). The structures of the oligosaccharides indicated that W. confusa dextran contains both terminal and elongated α-(1→3)-branches. This is the first report evidencing the presence of elongated branches in W. confusa dextran. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopic data on the enzyme-resistant isomaltooligosaccharides with α-(1→3)-linked glucosyl and isomaltosyl groups are published here for the first time. 相似文献

The marine fungus Aspergillus terreus produces an extracellular polysaccharide, YSS, when grown in potato dextrose-agar medium. YSS was isolated from the fermented liquids using ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. YSS was mainly composed of mannose and galactose in a molar ratio of 7.68:1.00, its average molecular weight was estimated to be about 18.6 kDa. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic analyses, including one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D NMR) spectroscopy, structure of YSS may be represented, at an average, as a backbone of mannan with two types of branches. The mannan backbone is mainly composed of (1→2)-linked α-mannopyranose with small amounts of (1→6)-linked α-mannopyranose residues. The branches consist of terminal β-galactofuranose residues, and disaccharide units of (1→6)-linked α-mannopyranose. The branches are linked to C-6 of (1→2)-linked α-mannopyranose residues of backbone. The antioxidant activity of YSS was evaluated with the scavenging abilities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide and hydroxyl radicals in vitro, and the results indicated that YSS had good antioxidant activity, especially scavenging ability on DPPH radicals. The investigation demonstrated that YSS is a novel branched galactomannan with antioxidant activity, and differs from previously described extracellular polysaccharides. 相似文献
