An O-polysaccharide and oligosaccharides were isolated by GPC following mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Providencia alcalifaciens O28. The O-polysaccharide was studied by sugar and methylation analyses, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D ROESY and H-detected (1)H,(13)C HSQC and HMBC experiments, and the following structure of the branched pentasaccharide repeating unit was established: [see formula in text]. This structure was confirmed by ESI MS of the isolated tridecasaccharide consisting of the lipopolysaccharide core and one O-polysaccharide repeat. The ESI mass spectrum also enabled inferring the composition of the core oligosaccharide.
