A homogeneous glucan has been isolated from the fruiting bodies of Cyttaria harioti Fischer. Partial acid hydrolysis produced major amounts of isomaltose, whereas acetolysis gave maltose and maltotriose. Enzymic hydrolysis with amylo-glucosidase and pullulanase indicated a structure based on maltotriose residues connected by (1→6)-α-D linkages. This conclusion was supported by periodate-oxidation data which also showed that 3-7% of the glucose resisted oxidation. Methylation analysis confirmed the presence of (1→6) and (1→4) linkages in the ratio 1:2.4
