title: Chemical structure of a polysaccharide isolated from the cell wall of Arachniotus verruculosus and A. ruber.
abstract: The structure of a cell wall alkali-extractable and water-soluble polysaccharide isolated from two species of Arachniotus has been established by reductive cleavage and NMR spectroscopy. The linear polysaccharide consists of a regular disaccharide-repeating unit with the structure: [-->6)-beta-D-Galf-(1-->5)-beta-D-Galf-(1-->](n)-->mannan core.
