Abstract

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and the O-side-chain of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Acetobacter methanolicus MB 58 4 (IMET 10945) have been shown to contain the same disaccharide repeating unit, namely, → 2)-β- d-Gal f-(1 → 3)-β- d-Gal p-(1 →. Degradation of the CPS and the LPS with the bacteriophage Acml gave fragments built up of 1–5 repeating units; the octasaccharide preponderated. The phage-associated depolymerase proved to be a β- d-galactofuranoside hydrolase.
