R. Eserstam et al., Structure of the acidic microcapsular glycan from the reference strain (CDC 6320-58) for Serratia marcescens serotype O14 : K12, CARBOHY RES, 329(1), 2000, pp. 227-232
The acidic polysaccharide from Serratia marcescens serogroup O14:K12 was an
alyzed by means of chemical studies and NMR spectroscopy and its repeating
unit structure found to be
-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GlcpA-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1--> 4 --> 1 b
eta-D-Galp4,6(R)Py
O-Acetyl groups are proposed to be present in non-stoichiometric amounts on
O-6 on one of the hexose residues in the main chain. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci
