K. Ajisaka et al., ENZYMATIC-SYNTHESIS OF MANNOBIOSES AND MANNOTRIOSES BY REVERSE HYDROLYSIS USING ALPHA-MANNOSIDASE FROM ASPERGILLUS-NIGER, Carbohydrate research, 270(2), 1995, pp. 123-130
Various manno-oligosaccharides including alpha-D-man-(1-->2)-D-man and
alpha-D-man-(1-->2)-alpha-D-man-(1-->2)-D-man were formed when a high
ly concentrated mannose solution was incubated in the presence of alph
a-mannosidase from Aspergillus niger. alpha-D-Man-(1-->2)-D-man and al
pha-D-man-(1-->2)-alpha-D-man-(1-->2)-D-man were isolated by activated
carbon chromatography followed by high performance liquid chromatogra
phy using an amino-silica column. In addition to the above oligosaccha
rides, alpha-D-man-(1-->3)-D-man, alpha-D-man-(1 -->6)-D-man, and alph
a-D-man-(1-->2)-alpha-D-man-(1-->6)-D-man were also isolated.
