ABSTRACT

A method is developed for the preparation of D-rhamnose from an O-polysaccharide (OPS) isolated by mild acid hydrolysis of Azospirillum brasilense SR75 cell mass. After the OPS hydrolysis, D-rhamnose was recovered by gel-permeation chromatography on Toyopearl TSK HW-40 and was crystallized. The sugar activity was demonstrated immunochemically. The advantages of the method are that it expedites and simplifies the extraction of D-rhamnose and increases its yield.
