Infobox references

Laminaribiose C12H22O11 is a disaccharide which is used notably in the agricultural field and as an antiseptic. It is in general obtained by hydrolysis or by acetolysis of natural polysaccharides of plant origin.[1] It is also a product of the caramelization of glucose.[2]

Biosynthesis

In some plants, the enzyme laminaribiose phosphorylase catalyzes a reversible chemical reaction that produces laminaribiose from α-D-glucose 1-phosphate and D-glucose:

The enzyme has been found in Euglena gracilis and Astasia ocellata.[3][4]
