Abstract
The capsular polysaccharide from Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens strain X6C6 1 has been investigated using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, met hylation analysis, and partial acid hydrolysis as the main methods. Th e polysaccharide is composed of hexasaccharide repeating units having the following structure. [GRAPHICS] The polysaccharide also contains O -acetyl groups, of which approximately 70% are substituted to O-3 of t he beta-D-Glc pA residue.
