Abstract

Fine structure of the O-polysaccharide chain of the lipopolysaccharide (O-antigen) defines the serospecificity of bacterial cells, which is the basis for O-serotyping of medically and agriculturally important gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli. In order to obtain the O-polysaccharide for structural analysis, the lipopolysaccharide was isolated from cells of E. coli O84a by phenol/water extraction and degraded with mild acid. However, the O-polysaccharide was cleaved at a highly acid-labile beta-l-fucopyranosyl phosphate (beta-l-Fucp-1-P) linkage to give mainly a pentasaccharide that corresponded to the O-polysaccharide repeat. Therefore, the lipopolysaccharide and the pentasaccharide as well as their O-deacylated derivatives were studied using sugar analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and (for oligosaccharides) ESI HR MS, and the O84-polysaccharide structure was established. The O-polysaccharide is distinguished by the presence of beta-l-Fucp-1-P and randomly di-O-acetylated 6-deoxy-d-talose, which are found for the first time in natural carbohydrates. The gene cluster for the O84-antigen biosynthesis was analysed and its content was found to be consistent with the O-polysaccharide structure.
