Abstract
The O-antigen polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide from the enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strain 62D1 has been determined. Sugar and methylation analysis together with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy revealed the components of the repeating unit. Two-dimensional NOESY and heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation experiments were used to deduce the sequence. 1H and 13C NMR spectra indicate heterogeneity in the polysaccharide. Methylation analysis and 1H NMR spectra of native and Smith-degraded material show that the majority (65%) of the repeating units has the following structure: Minor resonances in the NMR spectra are consistent with the presence of repeating units which lack the alpha-d-Galp terminal residue (35%).
