The O-polysaccharide was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Providencia alcalifaciens O12. Its structure was studied by sugar analysis using GLC of the alditol acetates and (S)-2-octyl glycosides, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D (1)H-(1)H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, (1)H-(13)C HSQC, and HMBC experiments. It was found that the polymer is a neutral heteropolysaccharide and has a branched heptasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure: (formula, see text).
