✦ Synopsis


Lactobacillus helveticus TYl-2 produced an exocellular polysaccharide when it was cultured in reconstituted skim milk. This polysaccharide is a high molecular weight heteropolymer of o-glucopyranosyl, o-galactopyranosyl, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-o-glucopyranosyl residues in the molar ratio 3.0 : 2.8 : 0.9. The primary structure of the polysaccharide was shown by glycose analysis, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and NMR spectroscopy to be composed of branched heptasaccharide repeating units having the following structure: o.8bD-GalP~
