title: Structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide of Rahnella aquatilis 95 U003.
abstract: The O-polysaccharide of Rahnella aquatilis 95 U003 was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide and studied by sugar and methylation analyses, Smith degradation and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D (1)H,(1)H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, H-detected (1)H,(13)C HSQC and HMQC-TOCSY experiments. The O-polysaccharide was found to have a branched hexasaccharide repeating unit of the following structure: [carbohydrate structure: see text]
