title: Structure of a galactomannan isolated from the cell wall of the fungus Lineolata rhizophorae.
abstract: The structure of an alkali-extracted water-soluble polysaccharide isolated from the cell wall of the marine fungus Lineolata rhizophorae has been elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic means. The idealized repeating unit of this novel structure is [carbohydrate structure: see text] being m approximately 41, n approximately 2, and p approximately 5.
