Abstract excerpt
The full structure of the long- and short-chain O-antigen of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis O:2a containing two uncommon deoxy sugars, abequose and 6-deoxy-d-manno-heptose (6dmanHep), was established, for the first time, by sugar analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution ESIMS. Similar structural studies were also performed on two O:2a mutants with single disruption of 6dmanHep synthesis pathway genes each,...
