β¦ Synopsis
The structure of the type-specific polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus rattus was determined by methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, and by 2D-1H- and 13C-n.m.r.-spectroscopy. The polysaccharide was found to possess the trisaccharide repeating unit----3)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1----2)-[alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)]-alpha-L-+ ++Rhap- (1----.

The capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae Type 23 (S-23) was found to contain D-galactose, D-glucose, L-rhamnose, glycerol, and phosphorus in the ratios of 1: 1: 2:0.6: 1. Methylation analysis provided information about the linkages of the different sugar units. The sequence of the d
The structure of the capsular polysaccharide (S5) elaborated by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 5 has been investigated by using n.m.r. spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and various specific degradations. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of pentasaccharide repeating-units having t
