Am. Winn et Sg. Wilkinson, STRUCTURE OF THE O2 ANTIGEN OF STENOTROPHOMONAS (XANTHOMONAS OR PSEUDOMONAS) MALTOPHILIA, Carbohydrate research, 298(3), 1997, pp. 213-217
An O antigenic polymer containing L-rhamnose, D-mannose, and L-xylose
was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide present in the reference stra
in for Stenotrophomonas (Xanthomonas or Pseudomonas) maltophilia serog
roup O2, by mild acid hydrolysis and gel-permeation chromatography. By
means of NMR spectroscopy and chemical degradations, the polysacchari
de was found to be based on a branched trisaccharide repeating-unit of
the structure shown. [GRAPHICS] (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
