1.The results of these studies indicate that S_(A-1) is a highly branchedmolecule with β (1-3)D-galactan as its backbone. There are side chains on some of the galactose residues at C_6~′ position.
2.The results of these studies indicate that a branchedmolecule possesses a backbone of β-(1-3)-D-glucan and side chains of β-(1-6) linkedD-glucose residues with branch and ends of minor β-(1-4) linked D-glucose residues.
