title: Structural studies of the acidic exopolysaccharide produced by a mucoid strain of Burkholderia cepacia, isolated from cystic fibrosis.
abstract: The acidic exopolysaccharide produced by a mucoid strain of Burkholderia cepacia isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient, was purified by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide precipitation and/or anion-exchange chromatography. Based on the sugar composition and permethylation analyses, supported by GLC-MS and NMR spectroscopy analyses, the repeating-unit of the polysaccharide was established as -->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-[4,6-O-(1-carboxyethylidene)]-alpha-D-Gal p-(1-->.
