Structure of fungal polysaccharides isolated from the cell-wall of three strains of Verticillium fungicola

The structure of fungal polysaccharides, isolated from the cell-wall of three isolates of Verticillium fungicola, has been investigated by chemical analysis and 1D and 2D H-1- and C-13-NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharides have an idealized repeating unit of: [GRAPHICS] where n ranges from 10 to 15 and m from 200 to 240. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
