Fig. 1 Solution NMR spectra of aerobically degraded 13C glucose in samples incubated for four weeks. Assignments are presented in Table 2 except for PS (Fig. 1D) which refers to resonance from polysaccharide C. A, unsupplemented sample with addition of 10 mM 13C glucose just before the NMR analysis. B, 15°C and pH 4.3; C, 25°C and pH 4.3; D, 15°C and pH 6.8 E, 25°C and pH 6.8. (=) and (= =) refers to monounsaturated C and polyunsaturated carbons, respectively. Note that the scale of relative intensity is magnified in fig. 1E and 1D

Fig. 4 Solid state NMR spectra of A, composite sample without addition of glucose; B, pure 13C–glucose; C, normal spectrum, and D, difference spectrum (i.e. A subtracted from spectra C) of samples supplemented with glucose and incubated aerobically for four weeks at 25°C and pH 6.8. Spinning side bands of carboxyl C and 13C–glucose C are denoted as xx and x, respectively

Fig. 2 Solution NMR spectra of aerobically degraded 13C–glucose in samples incubated at 15°C and pH 6.8 after A, two weeks; B, three weeks; and C, four weeks. Assignments are presented in Table 2. (=) refers to monounsaturated carbons. Peak assignments 1 through 6 in the alkyl region between 14.3 ppm and 33.5 ppm refer to FA1 through FA6 in Table 2. Note that the scale of relative intensity is magnified in Fig. 2C
