โฆ Synopsis
A neutral glucorhamnan has been isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of the 010 reference strain (C.D.C. 1287-54) of Serrutia marcescens. By means of n.m.r. spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and degradative studies, the polymer (the putative O-specific antigen) was found to have the branched, pentasaccharide repeating-unit shown.

In continuation of our studies of the surface polysaccharides produced by reference strains of Serratia marcescens, we have isolated the lipopolysaccharide of the 015 strain C.D.C. 4523-60 (yield, 18% of the cell walls). The neutral monosaccharide composition (expressed as percentages of the total p
