Abstract

The structure of acidic fungal polysaccharides isolated from the cell wall of Plectosphaerella cucumerina, Verticillium dahliae, and V. albo-atrum has been investigated by chemical analysis, methylation analysis, and 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharides have an idealized repeating block of the type: linked to a small mannan core (<15%), where n = 13, m = 13, p = 5, and q = 8 for P. cucumerina, and n = 16, m = 16, p = 6, and q <1 for both Verticillium species.
