Abstract: The possibility of chemical-enzymatic synthesis of branched polysaccharides was demonstrated with the enzymes from Salmonella newport and S. kentucky using synthetic polyprenyl pyrophosphate oligosaccharides. Formation of polymers with αl-2-, β1-2-α1-4- and β1-4-linkages between glucose residues in the branch and galactose residues of the main chain was shown.
