A structural investigation of the capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli O9:K57:H32.
The primary structure of the acidic capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli K57 was elucidated by methylation analysis and 1D- and 2D-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The repeating unit was identified as a linear tetrasaccharide having the structure shown. ----2)-beta-D-Ribf-(1----4)-beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-GlcpNAc-( 1----4)-alpha - D-GalpA-(1----.
