Abstract:
The O-antigen from Vibrio cholerae O:21 has been investigated, using n.m.r. spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and Smith degradation as the main methods. It is concluded that the O-antigen is composed of tetrasaccharide repeating-units having the following structure (in which Hep = D-glycero-D-manno-heptose). (Formula: see text).
