2D-N.m.r. (COSY) spectra of tetrasaccharides derived from the bacterial polysaccharides K54, produced by Klebsiella aerogenes serotype K54, and XM6 (from Enterobacter NCIB 11870) have enabled full assignment of the 1H-n.m.r. spectra. The 2D spectra, together with n.O.e. experiments, indicate that the O-acetyl group of K54 is located at O-2 of the l-fucose residue. The 13C-n.m.r. spectra of the polysaccharides have been assigned with the help of 2D-13C/1H shift-correlation methods.
