The chemical reactions and pathways involving polysaccharides, a polymer of more than 20 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages. The chemical reactions and pathways involving carbohydrates, any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y. Includes the formation of carbohydrate derivatives by the addition of a carbohydrate residue to another molecule. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues, involving more than one organism. The chemical reactions and pathways involving cellulose, a linear beta1-4 glucan of molecular mass 50-400 kDa with the pyranose units in the -4C1 conformation. The chemical reactions and pathways involving macromolecules, any molecule of high relative molecular mass, the structure of which essentially comprises the multiple repetition of units derived, actually or conceptually, from molecules of low relative molecular mass. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues.
