Structure of the group-specific polysaccharide of group E Streptococcus.
The structure of the group-specific polysaccharide of group E Streptococcus was determined by methylation, periodate oxidation, and partial methanolysis, and the configuration of the anomeric linkages by 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The trisaccharide repeating unit----2)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1----3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1----2)]-alpha-L -Rhap-(1----was determined.
