The structure of a beta-(1 leads to 3)-D-glucan from yeast cell walls.


ABSTRACT: Yeast glucan as normally prepared by various treatments of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cell walls to remove mannan and glycogen is still heterogeneous. The major component (about 85%) is a branched beta-(1-->3)-glucan of high molecular weight (about 240000) containing 3% of beta-(1-->6)-glucosidic interchain linkages. The minor component is a branched beta-(1-->6)-glucan. A comparison of our results with those of other workers suggests that different glucan preparations may differ in the degree of heterogeneity and that the major beta-(1-->3)-glucan component may vary considerably in degree of branching.
