Abstract
The structure of a highly viscous extracellular mucopolysaccharide produced by a marine bacteria designated strain No. 9-12 which was identified as an oxidase negative Pseudomonas was characterized by means of partial hydrolysis, periodate oxidation and selective cleavages of the polysaccharide chain. The polysaccharide has a branched structure with a backbone chain of -GalUA-GlcNA-GalNAc- and a side chain of GalUA-Gal-GalNAc-. The terminal galacturonic acid residue in the side chain was linked to D-alanine via an amide linkage.
