title: Escherichia coli O9:K38 capsular antigen: another ribofuranose-containing glycan.
abstract: The primary structure of the O-deacetylated acidic capsular antigen of Escherichia coli O9:K38 was shown by glycose analysis, methylation analysis, and one- and two-dimensional 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy to be composed of repeating linear pentasaccharide units having the structure.
