Cryptococcus neoformans NIH 409 was cultured in a defined medium containing D-[1-13C]xylose (Xyl), D-[1-13C]mannose (Man), or D-[1-13C]mannitol as the sole carbon source. The distribution of 13C in the Man, Xyl, glucuronic acid (GlcA), and O-acetyl constituents of native and de-O-acetylated glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) was determined by one-dimensional 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The carbon chain of Man was incorporated intact into GXM since 13C was observed only in carbon 1 of Man, GlcA, and Xyl. The carbon chain of mannitol was incorporated intact into GXM since 13C was observed only in carbons 1 and 6. This was expected since mannitol has an axis of symmetry. The carbon chain of Xyl was identified only in carbons 1 and 3 of Man, GlcA, and Xyl. This pattern of labeling is consistent with the assimilation of Xyl through the pentophosphate pathway.
新型隐球菌NIH 409在含有D-[1-¹³C]木糖(Xyl)、D-[1-¹³C]甘露糖(Man)或D-[1-¹³C]甘露醇作为唯一碳源的限定培养基中培养。通过一维¹³C核磁共振光谱法测定了天然和脱O-乙酰化葡糖醛酸木聚糖甘露聚糖(GXM)中¹³C在Man、Xyl、葡糖醛酸(GlcA)和O-乙酰成分中的分布。Man的碳链完整地并入GXM中,因为仅在Man、GlcA和Xyl的碳1中观察到¹³C。甘露醇的碳链完整地并入GXM中,因为仅在碳1和6中观察到¹³C。由于甘露醇具有对称轴,所以这是预期的结果。Xyl的碳链仅在Man、GlcA和Xyl的碳1和3中被鉴定出来。这种标记模式与通过磷酸戊糖途径同化Xyl是一致的。
