Abstract
The O-specific polysaccharide of Pseudomonas fluorescens biovar B, strain IMV 247, was studied by acid hydrolysis, GLC-MS and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including 1D and 2D NOE, 2D hybrid TOCSY and ROESY (TORO), and 2D H-detected heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) experiments. The polysaccharide was found to contain L-rhamnose, 3.6-dideoxy-3-[(S)-3-hydroxybutyramido]-D-glucose (D-Qui3NHb), 2-acetamido- 2,4,6-trideoxy-4-[(S)-3-hydroxybutyramido-D-glucose (D-QuiNAc4NHb) and 2-acetamido-2- deoxy-D-galacturonic acid (D-GalNAcA). Partial acid hydrolysis of the polysaccharide resulted in a non-reducing GalNAcA-->QuiNAc4NHb disaccharide with the 3-hydroxybutyryl group glycosylated intramolecularly by the QuiN4N residue. The following structure of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established:-->4) -alpha-D-GalpNAcA-(1-->3)- alpha-D-QuipNAc4NHb-(1-->2)-beta-D-Quip3NHb-(1-->2)-alpha-L- Rhap(1-->.
