SOIL polysaccharides, important components of humus1, are of microbial origin2. Their role in the formation of soil aggregates is of considerable significance in agriculture, We have, during the initial stages of our examination of the mechanistic role of polysaccharides in soil, concentrated on the isolation, purification, and the preliminary characterization of some components of the soil polysaccharide mixture.
