(ˌlæmɪnərɪˈbaɪəʊz)
[f. *laminarin n. + biose n.]
The disaccharide derived from laminaran; 3-β-d-glucosyl-d-glucose.

Barry in Ibid. 423 By partial acid hydrolysis of laminarin, the disaccharide was isolated... It is proposed to name this sugar laminaribiose. 1952 Jrnl. Chem.

XCVIII. 19c/1 A branched glucan containing both β-(1→3)- and β-(1→2)-linkages should, on partial hydrolysis, yield laminaribiose and sophorose. 1974 R. J. Sturgeon in J. B. Pridham Plant Carbohydrate Biochem. XV. 227 Hydrolysis of the glucan by a bacterial laminarinase released glucose, laminaribiose, laminaritriose and a water-soluble ‘limit dextrin’. |
