Disclosed are novel polysaccharides having the following physicochemical properties: (1) a molecular weight determined by gel filtration chromatography is about 5 x 10<3> to 10 x 10<6>, (2) the constituent glycoses are D-galacturonic acid, L-rhamnose and D-glucose, (3) the constituent glycoses are joined substantially by 1,3-linkages, and (4) a configuration of D-galacturonic acid is alpha , that of L-rhamnose is beta and that of D-glucose is alpha . A process for producing polysaccharides composed of D-galacturonic acid, L-rhamnose and D-glucose, use of the polysaccharides and a strain for producing the polysaccharides are also disclosed. |
