Abstract

The O-specific polysaccharide of the marine bacterium iaAlteromonas marinoglutinosal8 NCIMB 1770 was obtained by mild acid degradation of the corresponding lipopolysaccharide and found to contain D-galactose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine residues in equimolar ratio. Based on methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, and 13 C-NMR spectroscopy data of native and modified polysaccharides, the following structure of the trisaccharide repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide was established:

$$\begin{gathered} \beta - D - ManpNAc \hfill \\ { }1 \hfill \\ { } \downarrow \hfill \\ { }4 \hfill \\ \to 3) - \alpha - D - Galp - (1 \to 3)\beta - D - GlcpNAc - ( \to \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$
