Abstract
An extracellular polysaccharide was isolated from culture broth of Escherichia coli 36M, and fractionated on a column of Sephadex G-150 into two fractions; the high molecular weight portion (85% of the total polysaccharide) contained pyruvic acid, and showed a positive immune reaction with anti-Ps-I-serum obtained from a rabbit. The low molecular weight portion (15% of the total polysaccharide) showed a negative immune reaction. The methylation, Smith's degradation, partial acid hydrolysis and methanolysis of the higher molecular weight polysaccharide revealed a repeating structure as follows: (see article).
