The exopolysaccharide produced by the bacterium Alteromonas sp. strain 1644 originating from deep sea hydrothermal vents was shown to contain a novel glucuronic acid derivatives: 3-O-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-D-glucuronic acid. The structure of this compound was established on the basis of mass spectrome
