Summary
1. The cellular and extracellular xylomannans of the yeast organismRh. flava are polymers of similar structure.
2. The xylomannan ofRh, flava is a branched polysaccharide, the main chain of which consists of D-mannose residues bound by α-1 → 3 linkages, and the side chains consist predominantly of xylose units.
