    Abstract:
    O-Specific side chain of P. aeruginosa immunotype 3 lipopolysaccharide is composed of N-acetyl-D-fucosamine (FucNAc), 2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-L-guluronic acid (GulN2Ac2A) and 3-acetamidino = 2-acetamido = 2,3 = dideoxy = D-mannuronic acid (ManNAcAmA). The latter sugar is identified on the basis of solvolysis with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, 13C NMR spectroscopy and fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry analysis, as well as of reactions of acetamidino function (alkaline hydrolysis to acetamido group and reductive deamination to ethylamino group). Earlier, in the course of investigation of P. aeruginosa O3 lipopolysaccharides, the structure of 1-methyl-2-imidazoline was erroneously ascribed to the acetamidino group. The following structure was established for the repeating unit of immunotype 3 polysaccharide which is identical to P. aeruginosa O3(a),3c polysaccharide: ----4)-beta-D-ManNAcAmA-(1----4)-alpha-L-GulN2Ac2A-(1----3)- beta-D-FucNac-(1----.
