Abstract

In order to reveal the nature of polysaccharides and their contributions to the biological adhesion system of Parthenocissus tricuspidata, three water-soluble polysaccharides named PT1, PT2 and PT3 were extracted and isolated from the adhesive discs. According to the analysis of structure elucidation, they were major composed by (1 ® 3)-linked-Galp backbone with some branching sites at O-6 positions and rhamnose, arabinose, xylose and fructose were also present as the side chains. Flocculent structure, worm-like lumps and spherical particles were separately formed by three polysaccharides on the mica surfaces. In addition, branch-like structures and dendritic islands were also observed by atomic force microscopy, which were characterized to be fractal structures by self-similarity.
