Abstract
MIXTURES of monosaccharides derived from complex polysaccharides often present difficulties in identification when the compounds migrate close to one another on paper chromatograms. Difficulties of this kind have been encountered with certain bacterial polysaccharides containing glucose, galactose and heptoses. With the use of the glucose oxidase1-indicator reagent, ‘Glucostat’ (Worthington Biochemical Corporation) it has been possible to locate specifically the glucose and then reveal other monosaccharides on the same paper chromatogram.
