✦ Synopsis
The O antigen of the lipopolysaccharide of Burkholderia cepacia serotype E (02) was shown by a combination of methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, NMR, and mass spectrometric methods to be a high molecular weight polysaccharide composed of two different trisaccharide repeating units in the ratio 2:1. The major trisaccharide component is composed of two a-D-mannopyranosyl and one fl-D-galactopyranosyl residues with the structure, [ ~ 2)-a-D-Manp-(1 ~ 2)-a-D-Manp-(1 ~ 4)-/3-D-Galp-(1 ~ ].
