Abstract
The structure of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by a clinical isolate of Burkholderia cepacia isolated from a patient with fibrocystic lung disease has been investigated. By means of methylation analyses, carboxyl reduction, partial depolymerization by fuming HCl and chemical degradations such as Smith degradation, lithiumethylenediamine degradation and beta-elimination, supported by GC/MS and NMR spectroscopic analyses, the repeat unit of the EPS has been identified and was shown to correspond to the acidic branched heptasaccharide with the following structure: [formula: see text]. This partially acetylated acidic polymer, distinguished by the presence of the less usual D-isomer of rhamnose and of a trisubstituted glucuronic acid residue, could represent the main EPS produced by this bacterial species.

Abstract
Reliable measurements of intracellular metabolites are useful for effective plant metabolic engineering. This study explored the application of in situ 31P and 13C NMR spectroscopy for long-term measurements of intracellular pH and concentrations of several metabolites in glycolysis, glucan synthesis, and central carbon metabolic pathways in plant tissues. An NMR perfusion reactor system was designed to allow Catharanthus roseus hairy root cultures to grow for 3-6 weeks, during which time NMR spectroscopy was performed. Constant cytoplasmic pH (7.40+/-0.06), observed during the entire experiment, indicated adequate oxygenation. 13C NMR spectroscopy was performed on hairy root cultures grown in solutions containing 1-13C-, 2-13C-, and 3-13C-labeled glucose in separate experiments and the flow of label was monitored. Activities of pentose phosphate pathways, nonphotosynthetic CO2 fixation, and glucan synthesis pathways were evident from the experimental results. Scrambling of label in glucans also indicated recycling of triose phosphate and their subsequent conversion to hexose phosphates.

Abstract
Cell-wall polysaccharides of bamboo shoots were extracted with chelating reagent (CDTA, trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid), Na(2)CO(3) and KOH solutions. Glycosyl composition and glycosyl linkage analyses showed that the hemicellulose was composed of arabinoxylan, (1-->3, 1-->4)-beta-D-glucan, xyloglucan and glucomannan. (1-->3, 1-->4)-beta-D-glucan was purified by anion-exchange chromatography and xylanase-treatment. It consisted of 20-30% of 3-linked and 70-80% of 4-linked glucosyl residues, having a M(r) range of 100000-380000. Hydrolysis of the glucan with a purified cellulase {endo-beta-(1-->4)-glucanase}, released glucose, cellobiose and Glcp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp. Oligosaccharides having contiguous 3-linked glucosyl residues were not detected. The structure of (1-->3, 1-->4)-beta-D-glucan of bamboo shoot cell-walls was thus determined to be -->3)-beta-D-Glcp-[-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-](2-4)-(1-->. Xyloglucan was purified by anion-exchange chromatography, precipitation with iodide and gel-permeation chromatography. Arabinoxylan could not be separated completely by the procedure. The remaining arabinoxylan could not be degraded completely by xylanase treatment. Any linkage between arabinoxylan and xyloglucan would retard removal of arabinoxylan.

Abstract
Tri-, tetra-, and penta-saccharide fragments of the O-specific polysaccharide of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 have been prepared in which a D-galactose residue of each oligosaccharide methyl glycoside derivative contains a 13C label at C-1. The interglycosidic coupling constants (3JCH) of these 13C nuclei with the H-3 nuclei of the adjacent 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues have been measured by two-dimensional, J-resolved 1H NMR spectroscopy. The magnitudes of these coupling constants indicate that the trisaccharide is conformationally different to the higher oligosaccharide homologs, in agreement with previous studies of 13C chemical shifts and 1JCH values.

Abstract
The complete structure of the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) from Neisseria meningitidis strain NMB (serotype 2b:P1.2,5), a serogroup B cerebrospinal fluid isolate, was determined. Two oligosaccharide (OS) fractions and lipid-A were obtained following mild acid hydrolysis of the LOS. The structures in these fractions were determined using glycosyl composition and linkage analyses, N spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. One oligosaccharide fraction (OS1) consists of a molecule having a glycosyl sequence identical to that previously reported for the LOS from immunotype L2 N. meningitidis [A. Gamain, M. Beurret, F. Michon, J.-R. Brisson, and H.J. Jennings, J. Biol. Chem.,267,(112) 922-925] i.e., a lacto-N-neotetraose is attached to heptose I (Hep I), with terminally linked N-acetylglucosaminosyl and glucosyl residues attached to Hep II of the inner core. Approximately 70% of this structure is acetylated at O-6 of the terminally linked alpha-N-acetyl-glucosaminosyl residue. As with the L2 structure, the NMB LOS contained phosphoethanolamine (PEA) at O-6 or O-7 of the Hep II residue. The second oligosaccharide fraction (OS2) contains a a mixture of three different molecules, all of which vary from one another in their glycosyl substitution patterns of the Hep II residue. The most abundant molecule in OS2 has a structure identical to that of OSI, i.e., it has the L2 glycosyl sequence. A second molecule (OS2a) lacks the terminal glucosyl residue at O-3 of Hep II; i.e., it has a glycosyl sequence identical to that of the mild acid released oligosaccharide of N. meningitidis immunotype L3, L4, or L7 LOSs. The third molecule (OS2b) is a novel structure that lacks the terminal N-acetylglucosaminosyl residue linked to O-2 of Hep II. Overall, 76% of OS released from NMB LOS has the L2 structure, 15% is OS2a (L3), and 9% is OS2b. A portion (20%) of the molecules in the NMB LOS preparation also contained terminally linked sialic acid attached to O-3 of the lacto-N-neotetraose galactosyl residue, which is also consistent with the L3, or L4 LOS structures. In contrast to the previously reported structure of N. meningitidis lipid-A [V. A. Kulshin, U. Zähringer, B. Linder, C.E. Frasch, C-M. Tsai, B.A. Dmitriev, and E.T Rietschel, J. Bacteriol., 174, (1992)1793-1800], only 30% of the lipid-A from NMB LOS possesses 4'-phosphate. Comparison with the lipid-A of LOS purified from an isogenic acapsulate mutant, M7, revealed that the 4'-position was almost completely occupied with phosphate. These data emphasize the structural heterogeneity of the OS and phosphate substituents of Hep II, and 4'-phosphorylation of lipid-A of meningococcal LOS.

Abstract
An improved synthesis of propyl 4-O-(3,6-di-O-methyl- beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,3-di-O-methyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside, a disaccharide corresponding to the phenolic glycolipid of Mycobacterium leprae using a trichloroacetimidate as a glycosyl donor is described. The synthetic strategy is also applied to the preparation of three corresponding disaccharide analogues containing 13C-labeled methyl groups. The preparation of the trisaccharide, propyl 2-O-[4-O-(3,6-di-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,3-di-O-methyl-alpha-L - rhamnopyranosyl]-3-O-methyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside is also reported. The di- and tri-saccharides were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
We propose a phase-sensitive gradient-enhanced two-dimensional heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (psge-2D HMBC) experiment for speedy, accurate, and precise measurement of 2JCH and 3JCH. The experiment does not suppress one-bond correlations. Rather, the value of a desired long-range JCH is obtained from the pertinent cross-peak pattern in the HMBC spectrum, using the corresponding 1JCH correlation pattern as reference. The application of the proposed experiment is illustrated for the trisaccharide raffinose.

Abstract
Rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I) was isolated from the pectin of the cell wall of xylem differentiating zones of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don, gymnosperm) by digesting with endo-alpha-1,4-polygalacturonase followed by gel-permeation chromatography. Structure of RG-I was characterized by glycosyl composition and glycosyl linkage analyses, partial acid hydrolysis, and lithium (Li)-treatment in ethylenediamine. The oligosaccharides produced by partial acid hydrolysis showed the backbone of RG-I to be a disaccharide repeating unit of --> 4)-alpha-D-GalpA-(1-->2)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->. Arabian and oligogalactosyl side chains were attached at O-4 of rhamnosyl residues of the backbone. Glycosyl composition and glycosyl linkage analyses suggested that the structures and/or the distribution of the arabinan sidechains of sugi RG-I were different from those of sycamore (angiosperm) RG-I.

Abstract
The structure of an acidic extracellular polysaccharide isolated from Bradyrhizobium (Chamaecytisus proliferus) has been elucidated by hydrolysis, methylation analysis, and 1D and 2D 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy of the complete polysaccharide. The NMR spectrum showed that microheterogeneity was present due to the minor existence of a variety of O-acetyl groups. Thus, a deacetylated sample was prepared by alkaline treatment which was then fully analysed. The deacetylated polysaccharide has the following sequence: -->3)-[alpha-D-Galp-(1-->6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)- alpha-D-GalpA-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Manp-(1--> The sample is partially O-methylated at position 4 of the alpha-D-Galp-(1-->6) unit. In addition, the same moiety of the native sample is also partially and heterogeneously O-acetylated. The conformational features of the deacetylated sample have been evaluated by molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations and NOE spectroscopy. The results indicate that the polysaccharide may adopt a variety of three dimensional shapes, and that there is a fair agreement between the NMR-derived distances and those provided by the calculations

Abstract
The specific polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 35A was shown, by a combination of one- and two-dimensional NMR methods and chemical analyses, to be a high-molecular-mass polymer composed of D-galactose, D-glucose, mannitol, and phosphate (3:1:1:1). The pentasaccharide repeating unit is polymerized through phosphate diester linkages to give the structure, [formula in text] O-Acetyl substituents are present at positions 5 and 6 of the 3)-beta-D-Galf residue and at position 2 of the 6)-beta-D-Galf residue. The capsular polysaccharides of S. pneumoniae serotypes 20 and 35A both contain the disaccharide unit -->3)-beta-D-Galf-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1--> which is the probable structural determinant responsible for the serological cross reactivity of the two polysaccharides.

Abstract
The structure of a family of unusual glucans from Sarcina ventriculi has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and mass spectrometry. One is a trisaccharide containing a beta-(1-->3) and a beta-(1-->4)-linkage. The other is a hexasaccharide that is simply a 1,4-linkage dimer of the trisaccharide unit. This is the first report of beta-glucan biosynthesis in a Gram-positive organism. Their occurrence in these organisms supports an even more general link between their synthesis and the adaptability of bacteria.

Abstract
Glycosylation of 12beta-acetoxy-dammar-24-en-3beta,20(S)-diol (4), with hepta-O-acetyl-alpha-sophorosyl bromide (5) under catalysis by Ag2CO3 or Ag2O afforded a chromatographically unseparated mixture of the alpha- and beta-linked octaacetates 6 and 7 in an approximately 2.5:1 ratio. After deprotection and chromatographic purification, the free alpha- (8) and beta-glycosides (9) were obtained. Sophoroside 9 was identical in all respects with ginsenoside Rg3, the minor component of Ginseng Radix rubra. All compounds were fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Structural analysis of two xylomannans extracted from Nothogenia fastigiata was carried out. The results are consistent with the general pattern previously reported for other xylo-mannans of the same system, alpha-(1-->3)-linked D-mannans 2- and 6-sulfated and having single stubs of beta-(1-->2)-linked D-xylose, but one of the new samples contains a significant amount of 2,6-disulfated units. Both xylomannans studied are obtained as complexes with a beta-D-(1-->3)-, alpha-L-(1-->4)-galactan and a beta-D-(1-->3)-, beta-D-(1-->4)-'mixed linkage' xylan co-existing in the seaweed, a fact that limits the accuracy of the data determined. The structures of the galactan and the xylan are similar to those previously informed for this seaweed. The antiviral activity against four different herpes simplex viral strains and the anticoagulant properties of all the xylo-mannans of the system are reported.

Abstract
Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a bacterial infection of considerable morbidity in areas of endemicity of Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Clinical isolates of B. pseudomallei have been demonstrated to produce a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) containing two separate and chemically distinct antigenic O polysaccharides against which infected patients produced antibodies. A putative capsular polysaccharide (CPS) has also been reported and is thought to be antigenically conserved based on results of serological studies with clinical B. pseudomallei isolates. In the present study, the CPS isolated from B. pseudomallei 304b from northeastern Thailand was found to have an [alpha]D of +99 degrees (water), was composed of D-galactose (D-Gal), 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDO), and O-acetyl 3:1:1), and was a linear unbranched polymer of repeating tetrasaccharide units having the following structure: -3)-2-O-Ac-beta-D-Galp-(1-4)-alpha-D-Galp-(1-3)-beta-D -Galp-(1-5)-beta-D-KDOp-(2-. Sera from 13 of 15 patients with different clinical manifestations of melioidosis but not normal controls recognize the CPS, which suggests that it is immunogenic and raises the possibility that it may have a role as a vaccine candidate and/or diagnostic agent.

Abstract
The structure of acidic fungal polysaccharides, isolated from the cell wall of Cylindrocladium and Calonectria species, has been investigated by chemical analysis, methylation and reductive cleavage analyses, and 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The polysaccharides have an idealized repeating unit: [formula: see text] linked to a small mannan core (< 5%), with n = 3 for Cylindrocladium penicilloides and C. quinqueseptatum and n = 5 for Calonectria theae, C. crotalariae, and C. colhounii.

Abstract
In a previous study (Kollár, R., Petráková, E., Ashwell, G., Robbins, P. W., and Cabib, E. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 1170-1178), the linkage region between chitin and beta(1-->3)-glucan was solubilized and isolated in the form of oligosaccharides, after digestion of yeast cell walls with beta(1-->3)-glucanase, reduction with borotritide, and subsequent incubation with chitinase. In addition to the oligosaccharides, the solubilized fraction contained tritium-labeled high molecular weight material. We have now investigated the nature of this material and found that it represents areas in which all four structural components of the cell wall, beta(1-->3)-glucan, beta(1-->6)-glucan, chitin, and mannoprotein are linked together. Mannoprotein, with a protein moiety about 100 kDa in apparent size, is attached to beta(1-->6)-glucan through a remnant of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor containing five alpha-linked mannosyl residues. The beta(1-->6)-glucan has some beta(1-->3)-linked branches, and it is to these branches that the reducing terminus of chitin chains appears to be attached in a beta(1-->4) or beta(1-->2) linkage. Finally, the reducing end of beta(1-->6)-glucan is connected to the nonreducing terminal glucose of beta(1-->3)-glucan through a linkage that remains to be established. A fraction of the isolated material has three of the main components but lacks mannoprotein. From these results and previous findings on the linkage between mannoproteins and beta(1-->6)-glucan, it is concluded that the latter polysaccharide has a central role in the organization of the yeast cell wall. The possible mechanism of synthesis and physiological significance of the cross-links is discussed.

Abstract
The structure was determined for the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) isolated from a swarming strain of Proteus vulgaris, CP2-96, which was obtained from the spleen of an infected mouse. The CPS was extracted from the cell pellet by hot water, precipitated with ethanol, and further purified by gel-permeation chromatography. The structure was established by glycosyl composition and linkage analyses, and by NMR spectroscopy. The sequence of the glycosyl residues was determined by a NOESY experiment. The CPS is composed of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure: OAc [symbol: see text] 4 -->4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-al pha- D-GlcpA-(1-->.

Based on the sugar composition, methylation analyses and Smith degradation, supported by NMR spectroscopic analyses and fast-atom-bombardment MS experiments, the lipopolysaccharide produced by a clinical isolate of Burkholderia cepacia was shown to contain two distinct polymers, both with linear trisaccharide repeating units; a major, containing D-rhamnose and D-galactose residues (2:1) with the structure -->3)-alpha-D-Rhap(1-->3)-alpha-D-Rhap(1-->4)-alpha-D-Galp(1 --> (major), and a minor repeating unit, constituted by D-rhamnosyl residues, with the structure -->3)-alpha-D-Rhap(1-->3)-alpha-D-Rhap(1-->2)-alpha-D-Rha p(1--> (minor).

Abstract
We have characterized the primary structures of the predominant N-linked oligosaccharides on cellobiohydrolase I from the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei RUTC30. Different enzymatic and chromatographic techniques were used to analyze six oligosaccharides. The combined data showed that the fungal carbohydrates have a core structure that is identical to the mammalian N-linked core. In the bulk of the N-glycans, the alpha-1,3 arm is extended with two mannoses and a glucose, suggesting incomplete processing of the oligosaccharides in the endoplasmic reticulum. The alpha-1,6 arm shows a remarkable heterogeneity: in addition to alpha-1,2-Man and alpha-1,6-Man, the presence of a terminal mannose alpha-1,6-phosphodiester was observed. This latter substituent has not been characterized before on mannosidase-processed N-glycan and its function and synthesis pathway are entirely unknown. The predominant N-glycans on cellobiohydrolase I can be represented as follows: GlcMan8GlcNAc2, GlcMan7GlcNAc2, Man7GlcNAc2, ManPGlcMan7GlcNAc2, GlcMan5GlcNAc2 and Man5GlcNAc2.

Abstract
The application of high-resolution 1H, 13C and 31P NMR and MS analyses to the oligosaccharide moieties of the L4 and L7 immunotypes of Neisseria meningitidis revealed that they had the following structures: [formula: see text] The fact that the L7 LPS is not sialylated at O-3 of its terminal beta-D-galactopyranosyl residue implies that it is a mutant strain unable to endogenously sialylate its lacto-N-neotetraose antenna. With the structural elucidation of the L4 and L7 LPS immunotypes, a more comprehensive structural profile of the LPS involved in disease isolates can now be assembled. This provides valuable insights into the structural basis of the N. meningitidis immunotyping system which could be of use in formulating an LPS-based vaccine against meningococcal meningitis.

Abstract
The O-side-chain polysaccharide in the lipopolysaccharide of Klebsiella pneumoniae O1 is based on a backbone structure of repeat units of [-->3)-beta-D-Galf-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1-->]; this structure is termed D-galactan I. The rfb (O-antigen biosynthesis) gene cluster directs the synthesis of D-galactan I and consists of six genes termed rfbA-FKPO1. In this paper we show that rfbDKPO1 encodes a UDP-galactopyranose mutase (NAD(P)H-requiring) (EC 5.4.99. 9), which forms uridine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate) P'-alpha-D-galactofuranosyl ester (UDP-Galf), the biosynthetic precursor of galactofuranosyl residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of rfbDKPO1 shows 85% and 37.5% identity to the rfbDKPO8 gene of K. pneumoniae serotype O8 and the glf gene of Escherichia coli, respectively. The molecular mass of the purified RfbDKPO1 enzyme is 45 kDa as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, while gel filtration revealed a molecular mass of 92 kDa, suggesting a dimeric structure for the native protein. The rfbDKPO1 gene product interconverts uridine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate) P'-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl ester (UDP-Galp) and UDP-Galf. Unlike Glf, RfbDKPO1 showed a requirement for NADH or NADPH, which could not be replaced by NAD or NADP. RfbDKPO1 was used to synthesize milligram quantities of UDP-Galf, allowing this compound to be purified and fully characterized in an intact form for the first time. The structure of UDP-Galf was proven by NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy has played a developing role in the study of polysaccharide structures for over 30 years. Many new bacterial polysaccharide repeat unit structures have recently been published as a result of the application of modern NMR techniques. NMR can also be used to elucidate the structures of both regular and heterogeneous polysaccharides from fungal and plant sources, as well as complex glycosaminoglycans of animal origin. In addition to covalent structure, conformation and dynamics of polysaccharides are susceptible to NMR analysis, both in solution and in the solid state. Improvements in NMR technology with potential applications to polysaccharide studies hold promise for the future.

Abstract
A core oligosaccharide was obtained after mild acid degradation of Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 lipopolysaccharide (LPS). On the basis of chemical, GLC-MS, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopic data, it was found that the oligosaccharide obtained is a highly O-acetylated heptasaccharide having the following structure: [formula: see text] where Kdo is 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid and QuiNAc is 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxyglucose. In the LPS, the O-specific polysaccharide chain is linked to position 3 of the terminal rhamnosyl group and is cleaved during degradation of the LPS. The degradation also induced partial migration and partial removal of the O-acetyl group from the terminal rhamnosyl group which, together with the occurrence of the reducing Kdo residue in multiple forms, contributes to the heterogeneity of the isolated core oligosaccharide. No such highly O-acetylated core oligosaccharide has been reported so far for LPS of Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) produced by the non-pathogenic Klebsiella strain I-714, selected for its immunomodulating activity, has been purified and almost completely detoxified in a previous study [Adam, O., Vercellone, A., Paul, F., Monsan, P. F. & Puzo, G. (1995) Anal. Biochem. 225, 321-327]. The present report concerns the structural elucidation of this CPS by several one-dimensional and two-dimensional 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR experiments performed on the native molecule. It was found to be a high molecular-mass branched polymer constituted by a hexasaccharide repeating unit of following structure: 4)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->2)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1- ->4)-beta-D- GlcpA-(1-->3)-¿alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-¿-alpha-D-Galp-(1. The presence of two glycosidic substitutions on the Galp residue resulted in a strong overlapping of its proton signals, preventing direct assignment of both proton and carbon resonances. However, assignment could be achieved using the two-bond and three-bond 1H-13C heteronuclear coupling observed in the 1H-13C heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) spectrum.

Abstract
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Vibrio cholerae O139 was deacylated with KOH. The following structure of the oligosaccharide resulting from this treatment was established on the basis of monosaccharide and methylation analyses, 1H, 13C and 31P 1D and 2D NMR experiments and 1D analogues of 3D NOESY-TOCSY and 3D TOCSY-NOESY experiments. [formula: see text] 'C' is a beta-L-threo-hex-4-enuronopyranosyl residue. Hep is L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, QuiN is 2-amino-2,6-dideoxy-D-glucose, GlcN is 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose, Glc is D-glucose, Fru is D-fructose, and Kdo is 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid. All sugars are pyranoses except fructose which is furanosidic. The fructose residue was localised after deacylation of the LPS with anhydrous hydrazine, methylation, acid methanolysis, and remethylation using deuterated iodomethane. The elucidation of this structure allowed for a direct comparison to the previously determined structure for Vibrio cholerae O1 lipid A-core region. The two structures are almost identical, and, therefore, this study is consistent with the genetic data for the biogenesis of strain O139 from O1. Furthermore, the identification of a structural analogue to the capsular polysaccharide of O139 in the outer core of the LPS in conjunction with the identification of colitose as a constituent of the LPS, provides additional evidence that the O-antigen and capsular polysaccharide of this strain may share the same repeat unit.

Abstract
Thermal treatment of anhydrous, acidified sucrose or inulin yields caramels containing monosaccharides and oligomers, predominantly dianhydrides and higher oligomers derived by the addition of glycosyl residues to dianhydrides. Fourteen dianhydrides, most of which comprise two fructose moieties, have been identified by mass spectroscopy of the per-O-trimethylsilyl ethers. Thirteen of these dianhydrides have been isolated and characterized; five of the dianhydrides are novel compounds and one of these is a glucose-fructose dianhydride. The dianhydrides and related oligomers are thought to have a prebiotic effect by stimulating the proliferation of bifidobacteria in the large intestine.

Abstract
The acidic exopolysaccharide produced by a mucoid strain of Burkholderia cepacia isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient, was purified by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide precipitation and/or anion-exchange chromatography. Based on the sugar composition and permethylation analyses, supported by GLC-MS and NMR spectroscopy analyses, the repeating-unit of the polysaccharide was established as -->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-[4,6-O-(1-carboxyethylidene)]-alpha-D-Gal p-(1-->.

Abstract
A novel enzymatic synthesis method of cyclodextrin (CD) from low-mol-wt maltose using cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus macerans has been developed in various water-organic solvent systems. A beta-CD was synthesized in a two-phase system consisting of water and cyclohexane. However, no CDs could be synthesized in an aqueous buffer solution. A maximal yield of beta-CD has been obtained at a cyclohexane content volume of 44%. This synthesis has been obtained only at low temperatures, i.e., 7 degrees C, and did not take place at 50 degrees C. In addition, various organic solvents have been used for the enzymatic synthesis of CD from maltose. Consequently, beta-CD could be synthesized in various water-organic solvent systems, e.g., cyclohexane, benzene, xylene, and chloroform, but no enzymatic reaction occurred using aliphatic n-hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane, dodecane, and hexadecane. Furthermore, alpha- and beta-CD could be synthesized in water mixture solutions using organic solvents having an alcoholic group (e.g., ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol) in a wide range of the reaction temperatures, typically 7-50 degrees C. In this temperature range, alpha- and beta-CD were also formed and the maximal yield from maltose to beta-CD of approx 13% was reached in 60 h.

Abstract
The structure of the O-polysaccharide component of the lipopolysaccharide produced by Escherichia coli 017 (ATCC 23512) was determined by the use of methylation, periodate oxidation, one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometric methods. The O-polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of repeating branched pentasaccharide units composed of D-mannose, D-glucose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose residues (3:1:1) and had the structure (formula: see text).

Abstract
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype 06 rough-type mutant A28 was isolated by a modified phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether extraction method. Deoxycholate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated a single band with mobility similar to that of the complete core region of the wild-type parent serotype 06 (International Antigenic Typing Scheme) strain. Compositional analysis of the LPS indicated that the core oligosaccharide was composed of D-glucose (three units), L-rhamnose (one unit), 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-galactose (one unit), L-glycero-D-manno-heptose (two units), 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (two units), L-alanine (one unit), and phosphate (two units). Under the mild conditions of hydrolysis with methanolic hydrogen chloride, a 7-O-carbamoyl substituent was observed on the second heptose residue. The glycan structure of the LPS was determined by employing one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry-based methods with a backbone oligosaccharide that was obtained from the LPS by deacylation, dephosphorylation, and reduction of the terminal glucosamine. On the basis of the results of the present study and our earlier work with the P. aeruginosa 06-derived core-defective mutant R5 (H. Masoud, E. Altman, J. C. Richards, and J. S. Lam, Biochemistry, 33:10568-10578, 1994), a structural model for the complete core oligosaccharide is proposed.
