Sugar contents in enzymatically tailored water-extractable mucilage. Water-extracted mucilage was partially degraded with RGase (3 h) and then precipitated with ethanol. The ethanol precipitate was recovered as enzymatically tailored water-extractable mucilage. A, Enzymatically tailored water-extracted mucilage from wild-type Col-2 (light gray bars) was enriched in Xyl compared with mum5-1 (dark gray bars). Results are given as average mol % ± sd of three technical replicates. B, Enzymatically tailored water-extracted mucilage from wild-type Col-2 (light gray bars) was able to bind to cellulose in vitro, unlike that of mum5-1 (dark gray bars). Mean values of each sugar bound per mg of cellulose are shown ± sd of two technical replicates. The percentage of each sugar that was bound to cellulose is indicated within the bars.
