High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Based Reevaluation of Disaccharides Produced upon Incubation of Sugarcane Vacuoles with UDP-Glucose.
A reanalysis of products formed after short-term incubation of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid cv H50-7209) vacuole preparations with uridine diphosphate [(14)C]glucose was performed. The results indicated that the ethanol-soluble substance previously identified as sucrose did not elute with sucrose when subjected to high performance liquid chromatography but had the same retention time as a disaccharide tentatively identified as laminaribiose.
