    Abstract:
    The O-specific polysaccharide of Hafnia alvei strain 1216 is composed of D-galactose, D-glucuronic acid, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, 3,6-dideoxy-3-[(R)-3-hydroxybutyramido]-D-glucose, and O-acetyl groups in the ratios 1:1:2:1:1. On the basis of sugar and methylation analyses of the intact and chemically degraded (O-deacetylated, carboxyl-reduced, Smith-degraded) polysaccharide and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D shift-correlated (COSY, relayed COSY, 13C, 1H-COSY) and 1D NOE spectroscopy, it was concluded that the O-antigen is built up of linear pentasaccharide units having the following structure: [formula: see text]
