Structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of Proteus mirabilis O16 containing ethanolamine phosphate and ribitol phosphate.
The O-specific polysaccharide of Proteus mirabilis O16 was studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, H-detected 1H,13C HMQC, HMQC-TOCSY, and 1H,31P HMQC experiments, along with chemical methods. The polysaccharide was found to be a ribitol teichoic acid-like polymer having the following structure [structure: see text].
