Structural characterization of the O-chain polysaccharide isolated from Bordetella avium ATCC 5086: variation on a theme(1)

FEBS Lett. 2003 Jan 30;535(1-3):11-6. doi: 10.1016/s0014-5793(02)03843-7.

Abstract

The O-chain polysaccharide (O-PS) of Bordetella avium was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide by mild acid hydrolysis to remove the lipid A, followed by hydrofluorolysis to remove the lipopolysaccharide core oligosaccharide leaving a residual O-PS for structural analysis. High resolution (1)H and (13)C NMR and MALDI studies showed the O-chain to be a polymer composed of 1,4-linked 2-acetamidino-3-[3-hydroxybutanamido]-2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid residues.
