C. Decastro et al., PRESENCE OF BETA-GLYCOSYL LINKAGES IN CARYOPHYLLAN - THE MAIN POLYSACCHARIDE FROM THE PSEUDOMONAS-CARYOPHYLLI LPS FRACTION, Carbohydrate research, 307(1-2), 1998, pp. 167-172
A new significant structural feature of the more abundant polysacchari
de (caryophyllan) of the lipopolysaccharide fraction (LPS) from Pseudo
monas caryophylli is reported. In particular, the occurrence in the ca
ryophyllan structure of beta-linkages, about 11%, besides the more abu
ndant alpha-linkages, has been evidenced by spectroscopic investigatio
n of the polymer-degraded compounds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. Al
