Figure 7

The most abundant unique monosaccharides. Circle areas reflect relative abundances within a taxonomic group for those unique monosaccharide residues which appear exclusively, or nearly so, in a single taxonomic group of Set 1 (A) or Set 2 (B). Uniqueness is defined here as: frequency in the selected group > 0.1%, frequency in other groups < 0.1%. Residues that result from analytical artifacts and those that are ambiguous due to incomplete structure elucidation are highlighted in gray. The symbol X represents any substituent.
