Delipidated cell walls from Aureobasidium pullulans were fractionated systematically. The cell surface heteropolysaccharide contains D-mannose, D-galactose, D-glucose, and D-glucuronic acid (ratio, 8.5 : 3.9 : 1.0 : 1.0). It consists of a backbone of (1→6)-α-linked D-mannose residues, some of which are substituted at O-3 with single or β-(1→6)-linked D-galactofuranosyl side chains, some terminated with a D-glucuronic acid residue, and also with single residues of D-glucopyranose, D-galactopyranose, and D-mannopyranose. This glucurono-gluco-galactomannan interacted with antiserum against Elsinoe leucospila, which also reacted with its galactomannan, indicating that both polysaccharides contain a common epitope, i.e., at least terminal β-galactofuranosyl groups and also possibly internal β-(1→6)-linked galactofuranose residues. It was further separated by DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography to gluco-galactomannan and glucurono-gluco-galactomannan. The alkali-extracted β-D-glucan was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography to afford two antitumor-active (1→3)-β-D-glucans. One of the glucans (Mr, 1-2×105) was a O-6-branched (1→3)-β-D-glucan with a single β-D-glucosyl residue, d.b., 1/7, and the other (Mr, 3.5-4.5×105) had similar branched structure, but having d.b., 1/5. Side chains of both glucans contain small proportions of β-(1→6)-and β-(1→4)-D-glucosidic linkages.
