“…The mechanism of gel formation in dilute potassium chloride solutions has been extensively studied for -carrageenan, where junction zones in gels are formed by quaternary interactions at the superhelical level (58) between ordered tertiary structures (double helices), promoted by potassium ions, through the one-stage domain mechanism of aggregation (coil 3 double helix 3 gel) (59). It seems likely that a similar mechanism could explain gel formation of other polysaccharides in which the primary mode of interchain association is through multistranded helices (59,60). Ab2, less sulfated than Ab1, also precipitated with potassium chloride but at a higher concentration (0.5 M).…”

“…In a diluted polar solvent, the most insoluble polymer precipitates first, roughly indicating higher molecular weight and branching, with more soluble EPS precipitating at higher solvent concentrations. (Aspinall 1982, Underwood et al 2004. These different EPS fractions therefore contain both LMW EPS material that can be readily utilised by heterotrophic bacteria, as well as more recalcitrant fractions (Hofmann et al 2009).…”

“…the two upper ones and the deepest one) and secondly the ubiquitous glucose (cellulosic plus hemicellulosic), the dominant hemicellulosic sugar is xylose, followed by arabinose. Xylose alone or with other monomeric compounds (arabinose, glucose…) can form various hemicellulosic polymers (xylanes, arabinoxylanes, glucuronoxylanes…) particularly abundant in higher plants (Aspinall, 1983). Accordingly, in the peat-forming environment the major bryophyte hemicellulose monomers are mannose (polytric) or galactose and rhamnose (sphagna) ( [Popper and Fry, 2003] and [Comont et al, 2006]) whereas xylose -accompanied by arbinose -is predominant in sedges ( [Wicks et al, 1991] and [Bourdon et al, 2000]).…”
