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

✦ Synopsis
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, correspond to structures 2 and 1, respectively. These authors interpreted their results in terms of two separate galactan chains, but several results concerning their high-moiecular-

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.
The O-specific polysaccharide was obtained by mild degradation of the Salmonella arizonae O61 lipopolysaccharide with acid. It contained 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, 2-acetamidino-2,6-dideoxy-L-galactose (FucAm), and 7-acetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-5-[(R)-3-hydroxybutyramido]-D- glycero-L-galacto-n
An acidic, partially O-acetylated O-specific polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of Shigella boydii type 5 lipopolysaccharide and studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D COSY, 13C-1H heteronuclear COSY, 1D NOE, and 2D ROESY experiments, and chemical methods (sugar and m
