title: Structure of the O19 antigen of Xanthomonas maltophilia.
abstract: The O-specific polymer from a strain of Xanthomonas maltophilia O19 contains D-glucose, L-rhamnose, and D-fucose. By means of chemical degradations and NMR studies, the repeating unit of the polymer was determined to be a branched tetrasaccharide of the structure shown. [formula: see text]
