Abstract
The structure of the exocellular capsular polysaccharide expressed by Escherichia coli O8:K48:H9 has been investigated by hydrolysis and met hylation analysis, and by NMR spectroscopic studies of the polysacchar ide and of the oligosaccharides generated by solvolysis with anhydrous HF. The capsular polysaccharide was shown to have the repeating unit: [GRAPHICS] where beta-L-Sugp represents 3-diacetamido-2,3,6-trideoxy- beta-L-mannopyranose.
