Abstract:
The O-polysaccharide was isolated by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Enterobacter cloacae G2277 and studied by sugar analysis along with 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The following structure of the linear pentasaccharide repeating unit was established, where a galacturonic acid (GalA) residue is mono-O-acetylated at position either 2 or 3: The O-antigen gene cluster of E. cloacae G2277 was sequenced. The gene functions were tentatively assigned by comparison with sequences in the available databases and found to be in agreement with the O-polysaccharide structure.
