Abstract
Constituent sugars of the polysaccharide bioabsorbent from Alcaligenes latus B-16, which can hold water at more than 1000-fold (maximum 2000 -fold) its own weight, were identified by three methods, gas chromatog raphy, high-pressure liquid chromatography, and gas mass spectroscopy. This polysaccharide bioabsorbent is composed of four different sugars : glucose, rhamnose, fucose, and glucuronic acid, The molar ratio of t he constituent sugars was:glucose:rhamnose:glucuronic acid:fucose = 1. 8:1.1:1:1.
