Two different oligosaccharides were obtained from the Smith degradation of the O-polysaccharide isolated from the lipopolysaccharide of Salmonella Dakar. The structures of these oligosaccharides were investigated by chemical analysis, NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The following structures of these products were determined: alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Quip3NAc-(1-->3)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-threitol and [Formula: see text] where Quip3NAc is 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxyglucose. The reaction products confirmed the structure of the repeating unit of the Salmonella Dakar O-polysaccharide reported previously [Kumirska, J.; Szafranek, J.; Czerwicka, M.; Paszkiewicz, M.; Dziadziuszko, H.; Kunikowska, D.; Stepnowski, P. Carbohydr. Res. 2007,342, 2138-2143].
