P. Edebrink et al., THE STRUCTURES OF OLIGOSACCHARIDES ISOLATED FROM THE LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE OF MORAXELLA-CATARRHALIS SEROTYPE-B, STRAIN CCUG-3292, Carbohydrate research, 295, 1996, pp. 127-146
The oligosaccharides from the lipopolysaccharides of Moraxella catarrh
alis serotype B, strain CCUG 3292, were isolated after mild acid hydro
lysis and separated by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography.
The structures of the oligosaccharides were established by fast atom
bombardment mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrosc
opy. It is concluded that the oligosaccharides comprise a mixture of m
ainly a nona- and a deca-saccharide. [GRAPHICS] Smaller amounts of und
ecasaccharides and of truncated forms. namely, hexa-, hepta-, and octa
-saccharides, were also detected. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
