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]
