Abstract

Methylation, periodate oxidation, and partial hydrolysis studies on the capsular polysaccharide, and on the carboxyl reduced polymer, of Klebsiella K24 show the structure to consist of a repeating unit[Formula: see text]The anomeric linkages were determined in isolated oligosaccharides by p.m.r. spectroscopy which also showed the presence in the polysaccharide of one O-acetyl group per seven or eight sugar residues. The O-acetyl is tentatively assigned to one of the D-mannose units.
