Abstract
The O-polysaccharide chain of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Providencia stuartii O20 was found to contain d-glucuronic acid, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, and a rarely occurring higher sugar 5,7-diacetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-l-glycero-d-galacto-non-2-ulosonic acid (di-N-acetyl-8-epilegionaminic acid, 8eLeg5Ac7Ac). Degradation of the LPS with dilute acetic acid caused depolymerization of the polysaccharide chain by the ketosidic linkage to give a tetrasaccharide corresponding to the repeating unit of the polysaccharide. Based on sugar and methylation analyses of the tetrasaccharide and O-deacylated LPS as well as ESIMS, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy data, the structure of the O-polysaccharide of P. stuartii O20 was established.
