| Abstract | The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Rhodococcus equi serotype 1 was found to be a high molecular weight acidic polymer composed of D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-glucuronic acid. Structural analysis of the polysaccharide employed a combination of chemical and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, from which it was determined that the polysaccharide possessed a linear repeating tetrasaccharide unit containing a single O-acetyl substituent and an acetal-linked pyruvic acid moiety: (Formula: see text). The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonances of O-deacetylated and pyruvic-free serotype 1 polysaccharides were fully assigned by homo- and hetero-nuclear chemical shift correlation methods. |
