Recently, Whitfield et a1.3 demonstrated that the O-specific poIysaccharide chains of KlehieUa pneumoniae serotype 01 contained a mixture of two structurahy distinct D-gala&an polymers. The repeating unit structures of these two poiymers, named by these authors D-galactan I and D-gala&an II, corresp

✦ Synopsis
The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of Klebsiella pneumoniae O1K2 lipopolysaccharide was investigated by use of methylation, periodate oxidation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. It was shown to consist of a linear chain composed of two disaccharide repeating units, [----3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-beta-D-Galp-(1----] and [----3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-beta-D-Galf-(1----].

The structure of Citrobacter O23-specific polysaccharide has been shown by sugar and methylation analyses of the native and chemically degraded polysaccharide and by 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy to consist of the tetrasaccharide repeating-units: ----4)-alpha-D-Man-(1----2)-alpha-D-Man-(1----2)-be
NMR 0-Specific polysaccharide chains of lipopolysaccharides of a number of serotypes of an enterobacterium, Citrobacter freundii, have been structurally elucidated [l-3]. We now report the structure of a new 0-specific polysaccharide isolated from C. jkuzdii 028,lc.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was isolated from Yersinia enterocolitica serovars O : 10 and O : 10 KL and the structural pattern of O-specific sugar chains elucidated. The rhamnan and L-xylulose (L-threo-pent-2-ulose) as constituents of the O-specific polysaccharide were obtained by autohydrolysis of the
A polymeric fraction (the putative O antigen) has been isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of the type strain of Burkholderia pickettii. The components of the polymer and their molar proportions were: L-rhamnose (3), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (1), and O-acetyl (1). By means of NMR studies and c
The O-specific polysaccharide isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Enterobacter agglomerans was found, by methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, oxidative deamination, and NMR spectroscopy, to
