Polysaccharides Elaborated by Polyporus pinicola (Fr).

Abstract

Two polysaccharides have been isolated from the fruit bodies of P. pinicola. One was a fucoman-nogalactan of essentially the same structure as a polysaccharide previously isolated from Armillaria mellea. The other was a highly branched fucoxylomannan the side chains of which are terminated by D-xylose and L-fucose residues.
