Mild acid hydrolysis of the lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli O57 afforded an O-polysaccharide, which was isolated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and studied by sugar analysis, Smith degradation and solvolysis with trifluoroacetic acid, along with 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The O-polysaccharide was found to contain d-Glc, d-Gal, d-GalA, d-GlcNAc, and l-FucNAc, as well as O-acetyl groups. Smith degradation of the O-deacetylated polysaccharide destroyed side-branch β-Glсp and α-GalpA to give a modified linear polysaccharide. Solvolysis cleaved selectively the linkage of α-l-FucpNAc to give a pentasaccharide corresponding to the O-polysaccharide repeat. A comparison of the NMR spectra of the initial and O-deacetylated polysaccharides showed that α-GalpA is non-stoichiometrically O-acetylated at position either 2 (~30%) or 3 (~40%). The following structure of the O-polysaccharide was established, which is unique among known bacterial polysaccharide structures.
