E. Troyano et al., PRESENCE OF ACETATE AND SUCCINATE IN THE EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE PRODUCED BY ZOOGLOEA-RAMIGERA 115SLR, Carbohydrate polymers, 31(1-2), 1996, pp. 35-40
The extracellular acidic polysaccharide produced by Zoogloea ramigera
115SLR contains O-acetyl and O-succinyl groups, in addition to glucose
, galactose and pyruvate already reported. Methylation analysis of bot
h the native and the chemically modified zooglan showed that these O-a
cyl groups are attached to position 6 of a 4-substituted glucosyl resi
due and of a terminal glucose. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
