Pseudomonas rnffrgi~~f~ is a phytopathogeni~ bacterial species that is a causative agent of soft rot in stored fruits and vegetables. Work in our laboratory has indicated that strains of this species are heterogeneous with respect to the acidic exopolysaccharides (EPS) they produce. We have recently

β¦ Synopsis
The structure of an acidic exopolysaccharide of two strains of Pseudomonas marginalis, a bacterium which causes soft rots of various vegetables, has been determined to consist of a repeating unit of: -4)
1-The glucose is pyruvated at O-4 and O-6 and the mannoseis acetylated at either O-2 or O-3.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
From 40 agar plates, the strains yielded the following amounts of crude EPS: 76 and 173 mg of noncapsular and capsular EPS, respectively, for strain PF-05-2; and 329 and 57 mg of noncapsular and capsular EPS, respectively, for strain PM-LB-l. Each
