Structures of the O-polysaccharide chains of the lipopolysaccharides of Xanthomonas campestris pv phaseoli var fuscans GSPB 271 and X campestris pv malvacearum GSPB 1386 and GSPB 2388

Carbohydr Res. 2002 Oct 11;337(19):1723-8. doi: 10.1016/s0008-6215(02)00268-9.

Abstract

O-polysaccharides of phytopathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas campestris were isolated by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharides and studied by sugar and methylation analysis, along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The following structures of the repeating units of the polysaccharides of X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans GSPB 271 (1). and X. campestris pv. malvacearum GSPB 1386 and GSPB 2388 (2). were established:The O-polysaccharides of X. campestris are structurally similar to those of some Pseudomonas syringae strains.
