Structure of the sidechain of lipopolysaccharide from Erwinia amylovora T.
The sidechain of lipopolysaccharide from Erwinia amylovora T was composed of D-fucose, D-galactose and D-glucose in equimolar proportions. Using NMR spectroscopy, methylation analysis, mass spectrometry, Smith degradation and optical rotation data, the repeat unit was shown to have the following most probable structure: (formula; see text)
