Abstract
The structure of the carbohydrate backbone of the lipopolysaccharide from Acinetobacter strain ATCC 17905 was studied. After deacylation of the lipopolysaccharide, a mixture of two compounds (ratio approximately 2:1) was isolated by high‐performance anion‐exchange chromatography, the structures of which were determined by NMR spectroscopy and electrospray‐mass spectrometry as image [Sug, 3‐deoxy‐d‐manno‐2‐octulopyranosonic acid (Kdo) in oligosaccharjde 1 (major portion) and d‐glyc‐ero‐d‐talo‐2‐octulopyranosonic acid (Ko) in oligosaccharide 2 (minor portion)]. All monosaccharide residues also possess the d‐configuration and are present in the pyranose form.
