Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

Lipopolysaccharides have been isolated from two R mutants of the pseudotuberculosis microbeYersinia tuberculosis, serovar VA. Mild acid hydrolysis followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 gave the core oligosaccharides OS I and OS II. Complete acid hydrolysis showed that OS I consisted of residues of D-galactose, G-glucose, two heptoses (D-glycero-D-mannoheptose and L-glycero-D-mannoheptose), and D-glucosamine in a ratio of 1:2.5:4:1, while OS II consisted of residues of D-glucose, heptoses, and D-glucosamine in a ratio of 1:2.5:0.2. On the basis of the results of monosaccharide analysis, methylation, Smith degradation, etc., a partial structure of the core oligosaccharide of the LPS ofY. pseudotuberculosis has been put forward.
