The lipopolysaccharide of Citrobacter freundii O22 (strain PCM 1555) was degraded under mild acidic conditions and the O-polysaccharide released was isolated by gel chromatography. Sugar and methylation analyses along with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional (1)H,(1)H ROESY and (1)H,(13)C HMBC experiments, showed that the repeating unit of the O-polysaccharide has the following structure: alpha-Abep 1 -->3 --> 2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->4)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1--> where Abe is abequose (3,6-dideoxy-D-xylo-hexose). SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting revealed that the O-antigen of C. freundii O22 is serologically indistinguishable from those of Salmonella group B serovars (Typhimurium, Brandenburg, Sandiego, Paratyphi B) but not related to other abequose-containing O-antigens tested (Citrobacter werkmanii O38 and Salmonella Kentucky) or colitose (l enantiomer of abequose)-containing O-antigen of Escherichia coli O111.

Structures of a unique O-polysaccharide of Edwardsiella tarda PCM 1153 containing an amide of galacturonic acid with 2-aminopropane-1,3-diol and an abequose-containing O-polysaccharide shared by E. tarda PCM 1145, PCM 1151 and PCM 1158.

Lipopolysaccharides of four strains of Edwardsiella tarda were degraded by mild acid hydrolysis, and the released O-polysaccharides were isolated by GPC and studied by sugar and methylation analyses along with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, including 2D (1)H, (1)H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, (1)H, (13)C HMBC, HSQC and HSQC-TOCSY experiments. The O-polysaccharide from E. tarda PCM 1153 was found to contain D-GalA, D-GlcNAc, D-Gal and 2-amino-1,3-propanediol (GroN).
