title: The structure of the carbohydrate backbone of the LPS from Shewanella putrefaciens CN32.
abstract: The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from a natural rough strain of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 was analyzed using NMR and mass spectroscopy and chemical methods, and the following structure of its carbohydrate backbone is proposed: beta-Galf-(1-->3)-beta-Gal-(1-->4)-beta-Glc-(1-->4)-alpha-DDHep2PEtN-(1-->5)-alpha-Kdo4P-(1-->6)-beta-GlcN4P-(1-->6)-alpha-GlcN1P
