abstract：:The structure of polygalactosamine purified from the culture fluid of Aspergillus parasiticus AHU 7165 was studied. Partial acid hydrolysis of this polysaccharide, in which 55 to 65% of the monosaccharide residues were N-unsubstituted, gave a series of galactosamine oligosaccharides (dimer to hexamer) in a good yield....
