Ochrobactrum endophyticum (syn. Brucella endophytica) is an aerobic species of Alphaproteobacteria isolated from healthy roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Here we report the structure of the O-specific polysaccharide obtained by mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide of the type strain KCTC 42485: →3)-α-l-FucpNAc-(1→3)-β-d-QuipNAc-(1→2)-β-d-Fucp3NAcyl-(1→ where Acyl is 3-hydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-5-oxoprolyl. The structure was elucidated using chemical analyses along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy (including 1H,1H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY and 1H,13C HSQC, HMBC, HSQC-TOCSY and HSQC-NOESY experiments). To our knowledge the OPS structure is novel and has not been previously published.
