Abstract
The O-antigen polymer recovered from the reference strain for Stenotro phomonas (Xanthomonas or Pseudomonas) maltophilia serogroup O20, by mi ld acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide, was found to contain D-r hamnose and D-mannose. By means of chemical degradations and NMR studi es, the repeating-unit of the polymer was deduced to be a linear tetra saccharide with the structure shown. ap-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Rhap-(1-->2)-a lpha-D-Rhap-(1--> (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
