Isolation and characterization of 4-O-[3,4-O-(1-carboxyethylidene)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl]erythritol from Klebsiella K33 polysaccharide.
The tetrasaccharide-alditol, RL 0.8, from one stage of Smith degradation of Klebsiella K33, was subjected to Smith degradation to yield a disaccharide-alditol. The purified disaccharide-alditol was characterized by sugar analysis, methylation analysis, and mass spectrometry. The following structure was found. (formula see text)
