| Main Chain |
The backbone of the polysaccharide is made up by repeating disaccharide units of alternating α-D-galactopyranosyl residues, substituted at intervals in the O-6 position with various combinations of mostly α-L-arabinofuranosyl and α-D-galactopyranosyl residues. |
| Side Chain |
The side chains exist predominantly as 5-substituted α-L-arabinofuranosyl residues but the complex nature of the side chains is indicated by the presence of 2-substituted, 3-substituted, and 3,5-disubstituted α-L-arabinofuranosyl residues. In addition, 4-substituted α-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid residues were present as internal residues in the side chains. Although α-L-arabinofuranosyl residues terminate most of the side chains, α-D-galactopyranosyl, α-L-rhamnopyranosyl and α-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid residues also fulfill this function. |
