title: Structure of the O-specific polysaccharide chain of the lipopolysaccharide of Bordetella hinzii.
abstract: The lipopolysaccharide of Bordetella hinzii was analyzed after various chemical degradations by NMR spectroscopy and MALDI mass spectrometry, and the following structure of the polysaccharide chain was determined: 4-O-Me-alpha-GalpNAc3NAcAN-(1-->[-->4)-beta-GlcpNAc3NAcAN-(1-->4)-beta-GlcpNAc3NAcAN-(1-->4)-alpha-GalpNAc3NAcAN-(1-](n)-where GlcNAc3NAcAN and GalNAc3NAcAN stand for 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-glucuronamide and -galacturonamide, respectively. The polysaccharide chain is terminated with a 4-O-methylated GalNAc3NAcAN residue and is rather short (n < or = 5).
