Abstract
Abstract Using a crude β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Aspergillus oryzae both tri-N-acetylchitotriose (GlcNAc)3 (1, n=1) and tetra-N-acetylchitotetraose (GlcNAc)4 (1, n=2) act respectively as both glycosyl donor and glycosyl acceptor to give product mixtures containing significant quantities of the corresponding penta- and hexasaccharides [1 (n=3) and 1 (n=4), respectively] which are readily isolated and purified by charcoal-Celite chromatography.
