Abstract

The O-polysaccharide was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Cellulophaga tyrosinoxydans and studied by chemical analyses along with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D (1)H, (1)H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, (1)Н, (13)С HSQC, HMBC and H2BC experiments. The following new structure of the O-polysaccharide of C. tyrosinoxydans containing l-fucose (Fuc), N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc), 4-acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-d-glucose (Qui4NAc) and two l-rhamnose residues (Rha) was established:.

Keywords: 4-Acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-d-glucose; Bacterial polysaccharide structure; Cellulophaga tyrosinoxydans; Marine bacterium; O-specific polysaccharide.
