Sn. Senchenkova et al., The O-chain polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide of Xanthomonas campestris pv. begoniae GSPB 525 is a partially L-xylosylated L-rhamnan, CARBOHY RES, 319(1-4), 1999, pp. 148-153
The O-chain polysaccharide (OPS) of the lipopolysaccharide of Xanthomonas c
ampestris pv. begoniae GSPB 525 was found to contain L-rhamnose and L-xylos
e in the ratio 1:0.6. The OPS lacked strict regularity because of nonstoich
iometric xylosylation of the main rhamnan chain. Based on methylation analy
sis, Smith degradation, and H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, including COSY,
TOCSY,NOESY,and H-detected H-1,C-13 heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherenc
e (HMQC) experiments, the following structure of the OPS was established:
