Mannuronic acid is a uronic acid monosaccharide that can be derived from mannose.[1] Along with l-guluronic acid, d-mannuronic acid is a component of alginic acid, a polysaccharide found predominantly in brown algae.[2] Mannuronic acid is also incorporated into some bacterial capsular polysaccharides.[3]
