title: A re-investigation of the structure of the capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella K10.
abstract: The capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella K10 was investigated by methylation analysis and 1H-n.m.r. spectroscopy, and the deacetylated bacteriophage-degraded polysaccharide by 1D- and 2D-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The repeating unit was shown to be a branched hexasaccharide (see text). OAc substituents were located on the terminal and 2-linked galactopyranosyl residues by Prehm methylation of a low-molecular-weight fraction obtained by bacteriophage degradation.
