The structure of a glycerol teichoic acid-like O-specific polysaccharide of Hafnia alvei 1205
Abstract
The O-specific polysaccharide of Hafnia alvei 1205 contained D-glucose, D-galactose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, 4-acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucose (Qui4NAc), glycerol, phosphate, and O-acetyl groups. On the basis of 1D and 2D shift-correlated homonuclear and 13C-1H heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and dephosphorylation with hydrofluoric acid, it was concluded that the O-antigen was a partially O-acetylated teichoic acid-like polysaccharide having the following structure: [formula: see text]
