Abstract

Klebsiella K23 capsular polysaccharide has been investigated by the techniques of hydrolysis, methylation, Smith degradation-periodate oxidation, and base-catalysed degradation, either on the original or the carboxyl-reduced polysaccharide. The structure was found to consist of a tetrasaccharide repeating-unit, as shown below. The anomeric configurations of the sugar residues were determined by 1H-and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy on the original and degraded polysaccharides.{A figure is presented}.
