Structural determination of the O-specific chain of the lipopolysaccharide from the mushrooms pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas tolaasii.
The complete structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide isolated from the cultivated mushrooms pathogen Pseudomonas tolaasii is described. The structural determination, achieved by chemical and spectroscopical analyses, indicates a novel tetrasaccharide repeating unit built up of two units of 2-acetamido-2,6-di-deoxy-glucopyranose (Quinovosamine, QuipNAc) and two units of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-gulopyranuronamide (GulpNAcAN), one of which is acetylated at C-3 position:
