Abstract
A glycerol teichoic acid-like O-polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Providencia alcalifaciens O8 and studied by chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy, including 2D ROESY, { 1H, 13C} HSQC, and HMQC-TOCSY experiments. It was found that the compound contains a new component of bacterial lipopolysaccharides: ether-linked (2 S,4 R)-2,4-dihydroxypentanoic acid (Dhpa), which was identified by NMR spectroscopy. The following structure of the repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established: ▪
