Structure of the capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella serotype K40.

The capsular polysaccharide from Klebsiella Serotype K40 contains D-galactose, D-mannose, L-rhamnose, and D-glucuronic acid in the ratios of 4:1:1:1. Methylation analysis of the native and carboxyl-reduced polysaccharide provided information about the glycosidic linkages in the repeating unit. Degradation of the permethylated polymer with base established the identity of the sugar unit preceding the glycosyluronic acid residue. The modes of linkages of different sugar residues were further confirmed by Smith degradation and partial hydrolysis of the K40 polysaccharide. The anomeric configurations of the different sugar residues were determined by oxidation of the peracetylated native and carboxyl-reduced polysaccharide with chromium trioxide. Based on all of these results, the heptasaccharide structure 1 was assigned to the repeating unit of the K40 polysaccharide. (Formula: see text)
