Partially O-acetylated fructan was isolated by phenol—water extraction of cells of Cronobacter dublinensis G2732 followed by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Toyopearl 650M. Structure of the isolated fructan was established by 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The same fructan but lacking O-acetyl groups was isolated from two other C. dublinensis strains, G3947 and G4061. Genes for the fructan biosynthesis were not found at the typical Cronobacter O-antigen gene cluster located between the conserved genes galF and gnd and are evidently located elsewhere on the chromosome.
