Abstract

The cell wall alkali-extractable water-soluble polysaccharide (F1SS) purified from the three species of Cephalotheca has been characterized. Two different structures have been deduced by chemical and structural analyses. The structure of the polysaccharide F1SS from C. purpurea and C. reniformis is similar, and composed of 3,6-di-O-substituted mannopyranose with terminal residues of rhamnopyranose. The polysaccharide F1SS from C. sulfurea contains 2,6-di-O-substituted mannopyranose and terminal residues of galactofuranose. Our results confirm the relatedness of C. purpurea and C. reniformis with Ophiostomatales and of C. sulfurea with Sordariales.
