Abstract
a-α,4-D-glucans occur widely in nature in the form of glycogen and starch. Bacteria,
lower eukaryotes and animals accumulate glycogen, whereas starch is characteristic
of higher plants. While these two glucans are chemically the same, they differ in
structure. particularly with respect to the number and organisation of the α-I,6-linked
branches which they contain, and they differ in their molecular masses.
