Structure of the K16 antigen from Escherichia coli O7:K16:H-, a Kdo-containing capsular polysaccharide.
The K16-antigen from E. coli Rk 21510 (O7:K16:H-) is shown to consist of the repeating unit ----2)-beta-D-Ribf-(1----3)-beta-D-Ribf-(1----5)-alpha-Kd op-(2---- of which approximately 33% is O-acetylated at position 3 of the 2-linked ribose.
