title: Structure of an acidic polysaccharide from the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas aliena type strain KMM 3562T containing two residues of L-serine in the repeating unit.
abstract: The structure of an acidic polysaccharide from Pseudoalteromonas aliena type strain KMM 3562(T) has been elucidated. The polysaccharide was studied by component analysis, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D NMR experiments. A (1)H, (13)C band-selective constant-time heteronuclear multiple-bond connectivity experiment was used to determine amide linkages, between serine and uronic acid (UA) residues, via (3)J(H,C) correlations between Ser-alphaH and UA-C-6. It was found that the polysaccharide consists of pentasaccharide repeating units with the following structure: [carbohydrate structure]; see text.
