Isolation and Identification of 2-O-Methyl-L-rhamnose and 3-O-Methyl-L-rhamnose as Constituents of an Acidic Polysaccharide of Chlorella vulgaris

Abstract

The monosaccharides 2-O-methyl-L-rhamnose and 3-O-methyl-L-rhamnose were isolated and identified as components of the acidic polysaccharide of Chlorella vulgaris K-22. 2-O-Methyl-L-rhamnose was first found in algae.
