Abstract
The structure of the O-antigen polysaccharide (PS) from Escherichia coli O7 7 has been determined. Sugar and methylation analysis together with H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy were the main methods used. The PS is composed of te trasaccharide repeating units with the following structure: --> 2)-alpha -D-Manp-(1 --> 2)-beta -D-ManP-(1 --> 3)-alpha -D-GlcpNAc-(1 - -> 6)-alpha -D-Manp-(1 --> (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
