Monosaccharide composition of an alcohol insoluble fraction (AIR) isolated from P. tricornutum cells.

Monosaccharide	Rha	Fuc	Xyl	GlcUA	ManUA	Man	Gal	GalUA	Glc
% Relative composition mean ± SE	13.1 ± 0.8	4.0 ± 0.5	13.1 ± 0.4	7.9 ± 0.6	1.1 ± 0.1	46.6 ± 1.0	10.3 ± 0.3	0.8 ± 0.0	3.1 ± 1.1

Results are expressed in relative percentage (%). Values are the means of monosaccharide quantities determined in triplicate by GC-FID analysis performed on AIR isolated from four independent cell cultures. Rha, rhamnose; Fuc, fucose; Xyl, xylose; GlcUA, glucuronic acid; ManUA, mannuronic acid; Man, mannose; Gal, galactose; GalUA, galacturonic acid; Glc, glucose.
