The capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 (ATCC 27089) is composed of D-glucose (two parts), D-galactose (one part), glycerol (one part), and phosphate (one part). Hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, enzymic studies, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance experiments showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of a tetrasaccharide repeating units, linked by monophosphate diester and having the following structure:[Formula: see text]

The capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 3 (ATCC 27090) is composed of D-galactose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), glycerol (one part), and phosphate (one part). From hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating trisaccharide unit, joined through monophosphate diester linkages and having the following structure:[Formula: see text]

The capsular polysaccharide of Actinobacillus (Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 (ATCC 33378) is composed of D-glucose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (one part), and phosphate (one part). From hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating disaccharide unit, joined through monophosphate diester linkages and having the following structure:[Formula: see text]

The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 20 is composed of D-glucose (three parts), D-galactose (two parts), 2-acetarnido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), phosphate (one part), and O-acetyl (approximately two parts). Methylation, periodate oxidation, optical rotation, nuclear magnetic resonance, partial and enzymic hydrolyses, and chromatographic studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of partially O-acetylated hexasaccharide repeating units linked by monophosphate, having the structure indicated below:[Formula: see text]

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 15A (American type 30) is composed of D-galactose (three parts), D-glucose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), phosphate (one part), and glycerol (one part). Hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, methylation, optical rotation, and nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight linear polymer of a pentasaccharide repeating unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

The lipopolysaccharide produced by Salmonella livingstone (O:6,7) was composed of an antigenic O-polysaccharide which was shown by composition, methylation analysis and high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance studies to be a high molecular weight polymer containing D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose and D-mannose residues (1:1:4) composed in a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]Key words: Salmonella livingstone, lipopolysaccharide, O-polysaccharide.

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 33F (American type 70) is composed of D-galactose (5 parts), D-glucose (1 part), and O-acetyl (ca. 0.4 parts). Periodate oxidation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the high-molecular-weight (> 104) polyphenol fraction from Fucusvesiculosus, before and after acetylation or methylation, demonstrates that it is composed of phloroglucinol units (48.9 ± 3.5%) and 2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-hexahydroxybiphenyl, 2,2′,2″,4,4′,4″,6,6′,6″-nonahydroxy-1,1′:3′1″-terphenyl, and related quater-and polyphenyl groups (together, 51.1 ± 3.5%) linked by ether bonds, each bond involving the carbinol and methine carbons of different units and the formal loss of a molecule of hydrogen. The polymer is highly branched, with ca. 20 – 22% of the constituent units being chain termini; there is no evidence for large rings of units. Approximately 5 – 10% of the phloroglucinol and 54 – 82% of the directly bonded units occur on the exterior of the molecule, whereas the interior backbone consists predominantly of ether-linked phloroglucinol units.

Salmonella boecker, which belongs to group 0:6, 14(H) and shows the antigenic factors 6, 14, [1], and [25], defined by the Kauffmann–White system, produces two lipopolysaccharides differing from each other in the structures of their 0-polysaccharide moieties. By glycose composition, partial hydrolysis, nitrous acid deamination, methylation, optical rotation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the O-polysaccharides were demonstrated to be high-molecular-weight polymers (I and II) composed of either structurally related repeating tetrasaccharide or repeating pentasaccharide units having the structuresand[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]
