Abstract

An unusual water-soluble glucan was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma resinaceum following alkaline extraction. Its structure was determined using NMR spectroscopy ( 13C, 1H, and 1H (obs.), 13C HMQC), methylation analysis, and controlled Smith degradation. It was a highly branched β- d-glucan containing a (1 → 3)-linked β- d-glucopyranosyl main chain, partially substituted at O-6, principally, by side chains of 4-O-substituted β- d-glucopyranosyl groups, on average to every two residues of the backbone.
