F. Ferreira et al., STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF THE EXTRACELLULAR POLYSACCHARIDE FROM BUTYRIVIBRIO-FIBRISOLVENS STRAIN CF3, Carbohydrate research, 301(3-4), 1997, pp. 193-203
The structure of the Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens strain CF3 capsular pol
ysaccharide has been investigated mainly by sugar and methylation anal
yses, Smith degradation, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The
results indicate that the polysaccharide is composed of pentasaccharid
e repeating units having the following structure: [GRAPHICS] (C) 1997
