Comparison of the structures and elicitor activities of a synthetic and a mycelial-wall-derived hexa(. beta. -D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitol
The elicitor activity and structural characteristics of chemically synthesized hepta- and octa-..beta..-D-glucopyranosides were compared with the same properties of an elicitor-active mycelial-wall-derived hexa(..beta..-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitol. The specific elicitor activities, retention times on reversed-phase liquid chromatography columns, glycosyl-linkage compositions, /sup 1/H NMR analyses, and glycosyl-sequence analyses of the synthetic and mycelial-wall-derived hexa(..beta..-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitols were indistinguishable. This work provided conclusive proof that elicitor activity was associated with the structure proposed for the elicitor-active mycelial-wall-derived hexa(..beta..-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitol. 14 references, 4 figures, 4 tables.
