title: The structure of the antigenic O-polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide of Edwardsiella ictaluri strain MT104.
abstract: The structural characterization of the antigenic O-polysaccharide component of the lipopolysaccharide produced by the fish pathogenic bacterium Edwardsiella ictaluri MT104 was undertaken by the application of NMR spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The O-chain was found to be a linear polymer of a repeating tetrasaccharide unit composed of D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, and D-galactose in a 1:2:1 ratio having the structure: [carbohydrate structure]; see text.
