Abstract
pha-D-Rhap-(1-->3)-O-alpha-D-Rhap-(1-->2)-glycerol (5) was the major c omponent derived by way of Smith degradation of A-band polysaccharide (a D-rhamnan isolated from a mutant, AK1401, of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1). The structure has been verified by an unambiguous synth esis of 5. Based on mass spectrometric evidence, tyl-O-Ribp-(1-->3)-O- alpha-D-Rhap-(1-->2)-glycerol is considered to be one of the minor com ponents. The Smith degradation of A-band polysaccharide and the synthe sis of 5 are reported.
