Abstract
A polymeric fraction containing D-galactose, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine was isolated from. the lipopolysaccharide produced b y the reference strain for Acinetobacter baumannii serogroup O1. By means o f NMR spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and chemical degradation, the rep eating unit of the polymer was identified as a branched trisaccharide of th e following structure.
