Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae type 9L (American type 49) is composed of D-galactose (one part), D-glucose (one part), D-glucuronic acid (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannose (one part), and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part). Partial acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, nitrous acid deamination, optical rotation, methylation, and 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is an unbranched high molecular weight linear polymer of a repeating pentasaccharide unit having the structure: (formula; see text).
