- Abstract
- An acidic polysaccharide H-III was extracted from fruiting bodies of Lyophyllum shimeji with hot water. Acid hydrolysis and gas chromatography analysis showed that the polysaccharide was almost exclusively composed of glucose with a very small amount of mannose and galactose. Uronic acid of 8.36% was also detected in H-III. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 1x106Da. By 13C-NMR analysis, some repeating units of disaccharide were detected in the polymer H-III. The polysaccharide showed a strong mitogenic activity in a dose-dependent manner.
