Abstract
The capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella serotype K40 contained D-mannose, D-glucuronic acid, D-galactose, and L-rhamnose in the approximate molar ratios 1:1:1:2. The primary structure of the capsular polysaccharide has been investigated mainly by methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, characterization of oligosaccharides, base degradation reaction, and 1H and 13CNMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharide does not contain any pyruvic acetal or O-acetyl substitution. It has a pentasaccharide repeating unit of the following primary structure:This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
