The structures of oligosaccharides isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Moraxella catarrhalis serotype B, strain CCUG 3292.
The oligosaccharides from the lipopolysaccharides of Moraxella catarrhalis serotype B, strain CCUG 3292, were isolated after mild acid hydrolysis and separated by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography. The structures of the oligosaccharides were established by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It is concluded that the oligosaccharides comprise a mixture of mainly a nona- and a deca-saccharide. [formula: see text] Smaller amounts of undeca-saccharides and of truncated forms, namely, hexa-, hepta-, and octa-saccharides, were also detected.
