title: Structure of the exopolysaccharide of Vibrio diabolicus isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent.
abstract: The structure of the exopolysaccharide produced under laboratory conditions by Vibrio diabolicus, a bacterium recovered from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, has been investigated using sugar and methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide consists of a linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure. -->3)-beta-D-Glcp Nac-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp A-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp A-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Galp NAc-(1-->
