title: Structure of the acidic microcapsular glycan from the reference strain (C.D.C. 6320-58) for Serratia marcescens serotype O14:K12.
abstract: The acidic polysaccharide from Serratia marcescens serogroup O14:K12 was analyzed by means of chemical studies and NMR spectroscopy and its repeating unit structure found to be carbohydrate sequence [see text] O-Acetyl groups are proposed to be present in non-stoichiometric amounts on O-6 on one of the hexose residues in the main chain.
