title: The structure of the O-polysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa IID 1009 (ATCC 27585).
abstract: Structural studies were carried out on the O-polysaccharide fraction obtained by mild acid treatment of the lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa IID 1009 (ATCC 27585). The O-polysaccharide was composed of L-rhamnose, N-acetyl-D-quinovosamine, and N-acetyl-L-galactosaminuronic acid in a molar ratio of 1:1:1. The results from analysis of fragments obtained by hydrogen fluoride hydrolysis of O-polysaccharide, together with data on methylation analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis, led to the most likely structure of the repeating units of the polymer chain ----4)L-GalNAcA(alpha 1----3)D-QuiNAc(alpha 1----3)L-Rha(alpha 1----, in which about 70% of the rhamnose residues were O-acetylated at C-2. This structure coincides with that of the repeating unit of Lanyi 02 a,b polysaccharides.
