Structural analysis of the specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Rhodococcus equi serotype 7 indicated it to be a high-molecular-weight polymer consisting of equal molar amounts of D-galactose, D-mannose, L-rhamnose, and pyruvic acid. By employing a combination of chemical and NMR techniques,

The structure of the Pneumococcus type 19A (57) capsular polysaccharide has been reinvestigated by using methylation analysis and n.m.r. spectroscopy. It is composed of residues of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannose, D-glUCOSe, L-rhamnose, and phosphate in the molar ratios of 1:l: 1:l. The polysaccharide
The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 18C (56) contains D-glucose, D-galactose, L-rhamnose, and glycerol residues, and phosphate and O-acetyl groups in the molar ratios of 3:1:1:1:1:1. Accumulated data from methylation analyses of the native and the specifically degra
Methyl 2-acetamido-4-amino-2,4,6-trideoxy-3-0-(~-D-galactopyranosyl-uronit acid)-cY-D-galactopyranoside has been synthesised. The parent disaccharide is a structural element of the capsular polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 1.
