The properties of the soluble beta-glucans formed during photosynthesis of the green siphonous alga Caulerpa simpliciuscula are described. There are two components in the soluble beta-glucan fraction. One has an apparent degree of polymerization of 37 glucose units and the other of 270 glucose units. The beta-glucan with the lower apparent molecular weight accounts for most of the mass in the beta-glucan fraction and is similar in properties to soluble laminarins reported in other algal and fungal species. The beta-glucan with the high apparent molecular weight contains most of the radioactivity accumulated in the beta-glucan fraction during short periods of photosynthesis.
描述了绿管藻在光合作用过程中形成的可溶性β-葡聚糖的性质。可溶性β-葡聚糖部分有两个组分。其中一个的表观聚合度为 37 个葡萄糖单位,另一个为 270 个葡萄糖单位。低表观分子量的β-葡聚糖占β-葡聚糖部分的大部分质量,其性质与其他藻类和真菌物种中报道的可溶性昆布多糖相似。高表观分子量的β-葡聚糖含有在光合作用的短时间内积累在β-葡聚糖部分的大部分放射性。
