Abstract

Capsular polysaccharide of the Cryptococcus neoformans was found to be a xyloglucu-ronomannan, which consisted of D-glucuronic acid, D-xylose, and D-mannose (in 1 : 1 : 3 ratio), and its molecular weight was about 6600 by the Akiya-Barger's method and from results of end-group assay. D-Xylose and a part of D-glucuronic acid in this polysaccharide were liberated more easily than D-mannose.
