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

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.

The structure of a beta-(1--6)-D-glucan from yeast cell walls.

By selective enzymolysis, or chemical fractionation, a minor polysaccharide component has been isolated from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) glucan. This minor component has a degree of polymerization of about 130-140, a highly branched structure, and a high proportion of beta-(1-->6)-glucosidic linkages. The molecules also contain a smaller proportion of beta-(1-->3)-glucosidic linkages that serve mainly as interchain linkages, but some may also be inter-residue linkages.
