New functional tissues induced by a galling lepidopteran on stems of Marcetia taxifolia (Melastomataceae): An analysis based on cell wall composition and dynamics [PDF]
The plant cell walls are dynamic structures, whose pectin composition varies according to the developmental and functional stages and in response to external factors.

Inhibitory Effect of Sulfated Polysaccharide from Codium edule P.C. Silva Against 2,4-Dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)- Induced Allergic Contact Dermatitis on Female BALB/c Mice [PDF]
Purpose: Sulfated polysaccharide from Codium species has been reported for its antiinflammatoryactivities. However, the effect of sulfated polysaccharide from Codium edule onallergic responses has not been studied.

Galactans of (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) of Indian Waters
Galactans from the Indian agarophyte Gracilaria pudumadamensis were extracted and characterized. The isolated native (GP Native ) and alkali treated (GP Alkali ) galactans were characterized by IR, 13 C NMR, GC-MS and GPC. It was found that GP Native and

Biosynthesis of the Galactan Component of the Mycobacterial Cell Wall [PDF]
The structural core of the cell walls of Mycobacterium spp. consists of peptidoglycan bound by a linker unit (-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-D-GlcNAc-P-) to a galactofuran, which in turn is attached to arabinofuran and mycolic acids. The sequence of reactions leading to the biogenesis of this complex starts with the formation of the linker unit on a polyprenyl ...

Galactan synthesis in a single step via oligomerization of monosaccharides
Galactans ranging in length from one to five residues were prepared in a single step by treatment of the glycosyl donor 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride with lanthanum perchlorate in the presence of an initiator alcohol.
