Resumen:
An alkali-soluble glucan, [¿] + 11 ( potassium hydroxide) having a degree of polymerization of 220, has been isolated from the fruit bodies of the tree fungus Cyttaria harioti Fischer. Periodate oxidation and methylation analysis show that it consists of a highly branched À- -(1¨3)-linked backbone. Hydrolysis of the methylated polysaccharide yielded 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl- (24.5 mol%), 2,4,6-tri-O-methyl-(39.4 mol%), 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl- (8.6 mol%), and 2,4-di-O-methyl- -glucose (27.5 mol%). Periodate-oxidation results substantiate the methylation studies. The general structural features of the glucan are discussed.
