A water-soluble glucan isolated from an edible mushroom Termitomyces microcarpus

A water-soluble glucan was isolated from an edible mushroom, Termitomyces microcarpus. On the basis of total acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis, periodate oxidation and NMR studies (1H, 13C, TOCSY, DQF-COSY, NOESY and HSQC), the repeating unit of the polysaccharide is established as→4)-α-d-Glcp-(1→3)-β-d-Glcp-(1→
