STUDIES ON POLYSACCHARIDES FROM THREE EDIBLE SPECIES OF NOSTOC (CYANOBACTERIA) WITH DIFFERENT COLONY MORPHOLOGIES: COMPARISON OF MONOSACCHARIDE COMPOSITIONS AND VISCOSITIES OF POLYSACCHARIDES FROM FIELD COLONIES AND SUSPENSION CULTURES.

Studies polysaccharides from three edible species of Nostoc (cyanobacteria) with different colony morphologies. Comparison of monosaccharide compositions and viscosities of polysaccharides from field colonies and suspension cultures; Isolation of excreted extracellular polymeric substances from the media in which the suspension cultures were grown; Main monosaccharides of the field colony polysaccharides from the three species.
