D. Garozzo et al., THE STRUCTURE OF THE EXOCELLULAR POLYSACCHARIDE FROM THE CYANOBACTERIUM CYANOSPIRA-CAPSULATA, Carbohydrate research, 307(1-2), 1998, pp. 113-124
The exocellular polysaccharide produced by the cyanobacterium Cyanospi
ra capsulata has been subjected to partial acid hydrolysis and N-deace
tylation-nitrous acid deamination. The oligosaccharides released have
been isolated by weak anion exchange and aqueous size exclusion chroma
tography, and characterized by a combination of 1D and 2D nuclear magn
etic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, sugar compostion and l
inkage analyses. The polysaccharide has an octasaccharide repeating un
it with the following structure: [GRAPHICS] (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
