Enzyme Production and Characterization

Partial acetolysis of the extracellular polysaccharide from Xanthomonas campestris gives the constituent monosaccharides, cellobiose, and three mannose-containing neutral oligosaccharides thought to be derived from the branch points of the polysaccharide. The structural analyses of these oligosaccharides provide further evidence for the presence of β-D-glucopyranosyl and α-D-mannopyranosyl linkages in the polymer.
